uhh i did it! 14 pages, I read them all)
I also dream of supporting the ACES color space for Corona, and I don’t understand why some people are against it, as if they had taken away the SRGB
ACES should be an added opportunity; there should always be a choice
look at Vray, I never thought I'd say it - but its VFB is pretty cool, look how many functions there are! Support for different color spaces, but what do we have in Corona? Lut and curves are good, but not enough, and tonal mapping in Corona does not work very well. For a long time I could not understand why I do not really like the result in Corona VBF, while Fshtorm VBF is just excellent, I took pure EXR and Corona, without tone mapping and transferred it to the script (or plugin) VFB +, the result of tone mapping in VFB + turned out to be much better, the gamma looks more attractive, softer, there are no aggressive blacks moving from light to dark in the shade, there is no sharp contrast and I think that if you make tone mapping in Nuk, the result will be even better, but this is already superfluous, we all want to see a good, lively picture not after tone Mapping in Nuk, and already in VFB in Corona, as it now looks in FShtorm. I love Corona, but now he is a rendering engine for housewives and this is good at the beginning, but later I want to have more features, more settings. Why it is impossible to make 2 tabs in VBF, 1 - it will be for beginners, what we have now and 2 - an expert, where there will be many settings for color space, tone mapping, support for color profiles, all like for professionals. WE NEED PROGRESS! The crown already has a lot of good things, I think almost everything that is really needed at the moment, but the render engine is primarily a picture, and here we have a problem. If we don’t fix the tone mapping in Corona VBF for what FShtorm is doing now or maybe even better, then FShtorm will become a leader, it has excellent speed because it works on the GPU and an excellent picture without problems, out of the box, until it wins due to the small amount of memory on video cards. The video memory is still not enough for large exteriors and many high-resolution textures, but the amount of video memory is constantly growing and it is possible that in the next video memory cards it will be much larger than now, which will give great opportunities for FShtorm and will bring big losses among Corona fans
