(All information and statistics is based on V1.3)

  • Ultra-optimized for integrated graphics (iGPUs)
  • 40%+ improvement on Balanced compared to MakeUp-Ultrafast with all effects off
  • Color grading and biome‑specific lighting for all dimensions.
  • Cinematic post‑processing: bloom, sharpening, tonemapping, TAA, motion blur, film grain, vignette.

To-do

  1. More benchmarking
  2. Adding features (Can't really optimize more)
  3. Bugfix some features
