New Feedback
The current halation and grain modules are artifacts from an early alpha release and there are several issues with them:
What to expect from the update:
Grain will be replaced with a Film Structure module that combines new and advanced film acutance, softness and grain in a single structure emulation tool for incredibly realistic emulsion properties.
Halation color will be simulated through color space transform instead of a texture-location dependent effect. This ensures that all non-structural properties of the halation module carry over into 3D LUT exports for greater highlight color consistency between color.io and third party editing/grading apps.
These modules will be located somewhere else in the UI under a "Film Material" category with individual presets that emulate real world film stocks from Kodak, Fuji and Agfa.
Film Grain and Halation have been updated and integrated into the new Material Panel. A detailed update log explaining the new and improved features will follow early next week!
