Every now and then I get Megascans questions. I'm posting this here, so I can link to this post.

Thanks for sharing. Curious to know what your process to mimic them would look like for their (excellent) 3d plants, since their previews are apparently all UE4. Same material setup?

Same material setup?

3D models ship with baked albedo+ao texture maps, so you can skip the merging part.
For Translucency Fraction I usually use a value from 0.3-0.4.
Sometimes the translucency maps work out of the box. Sometimes you have to boost the gain/reduce saturation/change the hue to taste.

I noticed that I didn't specify the blending modes. The first height map blend is "Lighten", and the second blend is the lighten mix "Subtracted" from the top layer.

Didn't notice if mentioned before, but does blending has to be performed in linear or in sRGB space?

sRGB space?
I need to find the max file to be 100% sure, but I think they all were linear.

I've remade the ACES Tonemapper with default settings in Photoshop.
The only thing you have to do, is to open your 32bit .hdr/.exr files in Photoshop and run the action.

Remember to leave "Highlight Compression" at 1 in Corona.

I'll post the log LUT when the Corona log LUT loader gets fixed.

This is how it should work

Linear Render



Linear converted to Cineon log, same as Corona.



Apply tonemapper LUT



Convert back to linear



View as sRGB



But this is what we get in Corona right now, using the same tonemapper LUT as above.

Devs can we get this done in a daily build? (says the guy that has zero idea how hard this is to implement).
Vray who?

Is this blackmailing? :D

Now seriously, is this officially logged somewhere outside of this forum thread, or discussed directly with Ondra?

Hehehe, just want to be sure I'm sharing something that is actually working ;)

The devs know about it, but I've made a new mantis report.

I'm compiling a tonemapper pack for you guys.
The funny thing is that all the top tonemappers out there kinda look the same on the curve, but they look so different on the final render.

Here is a little teaser.

Secret Render Engine



ACES



Camera RAW 2012 (The one I've been using for years, for compression).
