    I've been using cameras since the 70s and have been a 3D animator for 30 years. Blender's colour transport system is mind numbingly amazing and raw export is great but this really is the missing part! My God this is a seriously good piece of code (I've prgrammed since 1980 too!) and the video is impressive all the way through however the film emulsion emulation is something I've never seen elsewhere and have tried to emulate myself before, bloody amazing work sir! I know you have to make a living but do, after sales die off, consider giving this to The Blender Foundation perhaps?

    I bought this at the last sale and got to tinker with it. The compositor is pretty slow pre-4.1 (all the more reason to update), but the controls are amazing, give great results quickly, and honestly has the best film grain I've seen implemented in Blender. Way to go!!

    • @cg_cookie
      @cg_cookie  3 месяца назад +4

      Thank you! Luckily more speedups are coming to the compositor! Looks like eventually both will be able to use the GPU

    I thought this was gonna be another lame just use punchy or up the saturation in comp video, but I'm blown away. This is what I've wanted to develop for so long now, but never got around to it. THANK YOU. This should be implemented natively in Blender imo.

    Every now and again you find a video that makes you go "Oh! That's what was missing!"
    This is very much one of those videos and this information should be mandatory for anyone wanting to learn colour theory.
    I personally use Resolve for post work, but this addon is seriously making me consider keeping it in Blender.
    Amazing job. I'll be sharing this video around 😁

  • @iLikeTheUDK
    @iLikeTheUDK 3 месяца назад +1

    The "perceptual" slider for the saturation is fantastic! Previously I only thought making the saturation look like that is via subtractive saturation, which is a pain in the ass to actually do in Blender's compositor, but turns out that with some more clever math you can do this in a way that lets you control the effect way more. Thank you so very much. I hope you expand this tool to work with video and image sequences, or make an add-on for Resolve that introduces this perceptual saturation control to it because I would find it extremely handy

    definitely going to have to grab this esp because you can make presets i stopped doing post stuff for work because 99% of the times clients didn't even notice the work that went into it but k cycles let me do some of it at render time and this will let me do the color correction stuff as well so HUZZAH

  • @paindavoine_design
    @paindavoine_design 3 месяца назад

    This addon has a lot of potential !
    For me right now it's not yet fully ready for production, because of few bugs and constraints, like the fact a correction is applied also in material preview, which is not convenient at all (disabling the compositor in material preview will just leave a very dark scene)... same thing during the rendering the colors are way off (the scene is almost black) so it's impossible to see if something goes wrong while it's rendering.
    Some other bugs, performance issues but nothing too serious.
    I think it's a matter of time but soon it will be difficult to work without this addon !

  • @Butterbilk

    This is awesome Jonathan! Am I able to slot in my own custom compositing nodes while retaining the side panel functionality of the addon? Will the passes enabled on the render layer have any effect? I’ll definitely have to give this a try.

    colorgrading is a bottomless rabbit hole! I am glad AGX is on by default though but are the render actually dull? the default setting is already a colorgraded preset in Blender i thought. Anyway great video and good luck to anyone even toying with the idea of color grading correctly

    so how do you know how much you should tweak inside blender with ambient lights, sun, point lights etc to get the look you want VS using these post processing tools?

    • @cg_cookie
      @cg_cookie  3 месяца назад +2

      Good question! I do as much as possible with lights and exposure, and then nudge it just slightly with post processing. Compositing generally shouldn't be doing the heavy lifting when it comes to values

  • @punmije
    @punmije Месяц назад

    If you ask me, I don't like either one. ACES is the worst thing to happen to the CGI industry-there's too much hype about nothing. AGX is okay for color grading, but it doesn't reflect how we actually see the world. I still prefer a linear (raw) approach with Reinhard tonemapping. It's scientific, proven, and it's been around for a long time; it's closest to what the human eye really perceives. I don't mind color clipping. When something is very bright, it should appear as white, not as 100 different shades of light gray fading into white. I'm fine with losing some details because that's how the human eye works.
