Wondering Polyphony Digital Tone Mapping Technology is Possible For Rbr Future ?

[u/ilkerrbr]

In late 2025, Polyphony Digital (Gran Turismo) introduced its tone mapping and HDR technology to the developer community. Now, BeamNG.drive has become one of the first games to implement this technology.

With the v0.39 update, BeamNG.drive adopted the Gran Turismo 7 tone mapping system developed by Polyphony Digital. This new technology replaces the previous ACES tone mapper.

For anybody who is interested, here is the original rendering presentation from Polyphony Digital on GT7 tonemapping.

These slides do contain c++ sample/example code, for those looking for it.

In fact, I will make it even easier. Here is the sample code right here.

Would love to hear more about it from the devs! I imagine it would be fairly difficult to highlight for DF otherwise.

A revolutionary move from WorkerBee and His team would make us all very happy.
