The versatility and scalability of the visual effects in YEBIS 3 have been quite determining to reach the maximum graphics realism. The game’s environments have been highly improved thanks to this new technology. The full HDR support, the extraordinary bloom and depth of field allowed us to increase vehicles and tracks quality. Especially Replays Scenes have benefit of YEBIS 3 middleware power.
