📋 About This Mod
Aerix LUT — Photorealism
Aerix is a custom, photo-realistic LUT made specifically to enhance the visual presentation of Cyberpunk 2077. Rather than pushing a neon or stylized aesthetic, this LUT focuses on true-to-life color accuracy, clean contrast, and natural highlights for a more immersive gameplay and screenshot experience. Its goal is to make Night City feel more like real photography, with subtle cinematic depth that respects the original engine lighting.
Key Features :
✓ ACES-based color grading
✓ Natural, photorealistic look
✓ Clean, balanced contrast
✓ Preserves original lighting
✓ Great for gameplay & screenshots
✓ Consistent across all conditions
Installation :
Simply drag and drop archive folder into the root folder
Compatibility :
✓ Compatible with HDR
✓ Compatible with LUT Switcher 3
✗ Not compatible with other LUTs
Color Science :
Aerix is built and calibrated within the ACES (Academy Color Encoding System) colorspace, the industry-standard workflow used in professional film and photography color grading. This means color transforms are handled with a much wider gamut and more accurate tonal response than a standard sRGB-based LUT, resulting in smoother highlight roll-off, more natural skin tones, and richer shadow detail without clipping or banding. The end result is a grade that behaves the way real camera footage does, rather than a flat color filter slapped on top of the image.
FAQ :
Q: Does this affect performance?
A: No. LUTs are applied as a post-processing color transform and have no meaningful impact on FPS.
Q: Can I use this alongside ReShade or other visual mods?
A: Yes, as long as those mods don't apply their own conflicting LUT or color grading pass.
