Hello guys,
I haven't had the chance to test out the new tonemapping but am curious about knowing how it stacks up to the Fstorm tonemapping in terms of Realism and Colours control.
P.s
There used to be a Tonemapping forum were the comparison between the Fstorm, Vray and Corona Tonemapping output is it still active or has the new corona tonemapping been used to confirm the improvement in regards to all the Complaints about the previous implementation?

I am playing tonight with the new Tone Mapper and I've noticed that once applied the Curve Data modifier and then open the Curve Editor CIE is blocked while the Curve Editor is all white and I see no curves.

Thanks,

Just a fast note:

The block CIE issue is only present in CIE standalone, in 3ds Max everything is ok.
I can't understand why in standalone mode the CIE is soooo laggy and slow.

Thanks -

Hi,

What resolution is the file you are working on in the CIE?

Hi,

We have some optimisations for the CIE in the pipeline. It should be available in the next build.

I'll let you know when it gets released.

Some more experiments. Light with negative color values in different color spaces.

Bonus:

ACES OT vs no operators - https://corona-renderer.com/comparer/CgEh27

ACES OT Wide RGB vs ACES OT ACEScg - hair color changes :D - https://corona-renderer.com/comparer/a64c75

The highlights look pretty good considering you got your green value set to 255. I usually keep my values between 30-220. Stupid question but does aces compensate albedo issues?

Hi all,

I am on RC5 and I've noticed today a strange beahaviour.
In 3ds Max I've setup on the CIE window my settings, I've sent the render via Backburner to a server with DR Server activated.
Once the render was ready I've opened the CXR file and I've noticed that all the Tone Mapping values were wrong. Even loading a previous saved preset (RC5 version) doesn't change the Tone Mapping values at all.
I had to put them manually again...

My assistant tried to open that CXR file with her computer and it works fine and the preset is loaded succesfully, but on other CXRs she has the same issues as me.

Any clues???

Thanks,

Dionysios -

Could you send exact steps how to reproduce this?
This part is confusing to me: "In 3ds Max I've setup on the CIE window"

Hello Maru,

I mean the Corona Frame Buffer in 3ds Max, my bad.
Excuse me, I'll try to be more clear on this:

- In 3ds Max I generate my render and setup my Tone Mapper as I wish.
- I send the render in high-res via Backburner to a server with DR activated.
- Once the render is ready I open the CXR file with CIE and the Tone Mapping values are comlpletely wrong and even if I load my *.conf presets they don't work.

Thanks,

Dionysios -

Hi,

Do you have RC5, Standalone, DRServer of latest version (which come with RC5) installed on both/all computers doing the render?
Are you able to reproduce this locally, without distributed rendering?

I have tried multiple times and was not able to reproduce this on my machine. Tone Mapping settings loaded all fine when opening the CXRs.

Nevertheless, I will test this yet again.
