The YEBIS library allowed our team to enhance the post-processing effects in Assetto Corsa more effectively than we did before at our own, letting us to be focused on other aspects of the production, saving development time & testing, and providing to our audience a very immersive environment as well as a lot of different post-processing filters (vintage, movie, photographic) to create stunning screenshots and videos featuring our videogame."
