AgX tonemapping was recently added to #GodotEngine , and with it we finally have proper neutral tonemapping! Notice on how with AgX (the left) more details in sky sky and the plushy are preserved, and how it looks less overly contrasty.

Seems like I've been double-tonemapping everything. Perils of vibecoding with insufficient tests

i said i'd tone down the shaders but oops sorry i fucking love bloom and tonemapping

is Hollow Knight rendered to an HDR buffer and then tonemapped?
they definitely make use of color grading, but in certain places it kinda looks like they have tonemapping as well, which is pretty neat

100%. These are the kinds of bugs that show up with localized tonemapping algorithms. (Professional experience: I worked on image processing pipelines including HDR algorithms at SMaL Camera Technologies / Cypress Semiconductor 2001-2006.)

if you just ask codex for a threejs site with tonemapping, a sphere with a physical material, and an EXR, you get this. I don't wanna see any threejs shit uglier than this.

How to looksmax your graphics. Please take the time to learn tonemapping! It's probably the most common mistake I see even in professional contexts
Subtle things to make your shaders better:
1) Anti-aliasing - Real life is not limited to pixels so unless you're specifically going for a pixelated style, you should be anti-aliasing everything!

For all the flak it gets, it's the only player I've ever used where every basic feature works out of the box, with zero fiddling needed. Even HDR tonemapping for SDR displays.

2) Tonemapping - If you're dealing with bright lights or HDR textures you might see some overexposure which leads to changes in color and harsh transitions. Tonemapping addresses this!

stumbled onto a really good screenshot from Bloodborne PC. this is using my remaster mod, but also reshade for TAA, very slight tonemapping, and the large scale perceptual obscurance irradiance shader

We're hard at work this week getting more features complete. We made several changes in 1 day already;
- New flip horizontal button in image viewer
- Improved colour accuracy tonemapping in model viewer
- Improved pixel font
- Keyboard controls
- Designed backend systems ready for implementation

I was struggling trying to get the HUD colors to line up with the color palette I have for the game. Just now I discovered that Unreal has been tonemapping my post process colors this whole time and the HUD was really correct.
Great, now I have to fix my eyes after 6months of over saturated colors.

IIRC BotW and TotK didn't use tonemapping -- all the shaders just passed SD colors in the device space. That's more artistic, but makes the math more annoying (esp around mixing and clamping). I think a lot of the Unreal-comparison is just that this is now tonemapping, too.

i think studying tonemapping too much is a recipe for madness, much like procedural noise

For Rock's #ECK #PostProcess #Reveal Challenge (below) I thought about focusing on one small element of this huge, beautiful photo, but decided to go holistically.
First, I used some tonemapping to bring out the hidden details (l), and then went nuts (r) to bring out its inner alien landscape.
