Method 2: Using Content Manager (For Assetto Corsa Users)

  1. Open Content Manager.
  2. Go to Content -> Mods -> Install from file.
  3. Select the Xukmi FX archive.
  4. Ensure that Custom Shaders Patch (CSP) is installed and updated to at least version 1.79.

  6. Hit Save and launch the game.

3. Authoring Workflow (practical steps)

  1. Start with reference: Pick the target look (cinematic, retro, comic, vaporwave) and collect examples.
  2. Base pass: Render a clean color buffer and any auxiliary buffers needed (depth, normals, motion vectors).
  3. Build modular passes: Implement one effect per shader file/function. Keep IO minimal — pass only what's necessary.
  4. Parameterize: Expose a small set of controls (intensity, radius, frequency, color tint, time scale).
  5. Compose & order: Experiment with order — e.g., bloom before color grading yields different results than after.
  6. Temporal blending: Use ping-pong buffers or history textures for persistent effects (grain, temporal AA, motion blur).
  7. Preview & iterate: Provide real-time sliders for artists to tune parameters.
  8. Profile & optimize: Test on target hardware; measure fill rate and shader complexity.

3. HDR Analysis & Fake HDR

For monitors without native HDR, xukmi provides a "fake HDR" effect that widens the perceived dynamic range. It lifts mid-tones while preserving highlight detail, giving a luminous quality to sunrises, neon lights, and metallic surfaces.
