Highlight Compression Macros for Eyeon Fusion + Foundry Nuke

[racoonart]

Ondra was so kind to give me the function for coronas highlight compression and I made a little fusion macro from that. So you can render your stuff without tone-mapping and apply it later in the post.

Corona Highlight compression:

Just copy the code to your flow window or save it as a .setting in your usermacro folder.
Btw, all macros should be used with linear (gamma 1.0) input!


[EDIT]
Captain Obvious added a macro for Nuke!
For download and more details see Post #6
forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,1807.msg13558#msg13558

[Another EDIT]
Added the Filmic Curve tonemapping as a separate Tool. Big thanks to Captain Obvious for the idea and the guideline ;)

[Juraj]

I am more and more inclined to have a look at Fusion. The guys at Uniform shown it and it did seemed simplier than maybe I feared/expected (I have a nightmare even from opening Nuke).

I had a brief look at the script but still have hard time envisioning how it works exactly. I have very mixed feelings about the look it produces. Not that I liked Reinhard (quite opposite..) but there's something about it I can't put my finger at, and prefer to do the tonemapping through curves in post.

[Captain Obvious]

Great, thanks! I implemented it in my Nuke tone mapper gizmo as well. I can post it if anyone's interested.


Corona's tonemapper produces exactly the same results as Reinhard tonemapping. It's just that the settings work differently.

Is that really so ? I thought the result with Reinhard became somehow more saturated instead.

[racoonart]

Fusion is pretty easy to learn, imho way more intuitive than nuke. It's btw relatively easy to use nuke if you know fusion - the concepts are mostly the same - but the overall usage is a lot easier to learn by trying things out in fusion. Nuke has some pitfalls here and there which are simply not existing in fusion (or you don't notice at first ;) ) and scare new users. I love fusion and it's such a pleasure to work with it. I can't imagine to do my work in any layer based compositing program like AE (totally pain in the ass)

The tone-mapping stuff is something I use very rarely, never in max directly (just in corona while rendering and playing with the values). I always save my images linear and do curves in the post. For me it's just a very useful thing to be able to achieve the exact same highlight compression in fusion than the way it is in corona - in case I liked what I saw when playing with the values at render time (or my boss or client etc).
The problem with this kind of compression is (imho) the reduced contrast in the midtones. I tend to reduce the compression just to the highlights with little influence into the midtones (for the soft transition).

Great, thanks! I implemented it in my Nuke tone mapper gizmo as well. I can post it if anyone's interested.

Why not, I'd appreciate if we could complete this thread for all different kind of compositing packages :) I'd modify the topic name then :)

[racoonart]

Btw, here is a screenshot with a before-and-after gradient from 0-10 range with a waveform diagram. Right image is with highlight compression at 10.0

[Captain Obvious]

Okay, here's my Nuke gizmo. It's still a WIP. I haven't yet implemented film simulation, but I'm working on it. No menu or install or anything for now; just select the text and copy it into your comp. Only tested in NukeX 7.0v8, but should work fine in regular Nuke as well, and probably in earlier versions as well.

It does Reinhard, Exponential Luma (same as Maxwell and modo), Corona and Filmic.

It does Reinhard, Exponential Luma (same as Maxwell and modo), Corona and Filmic.

Great Stuff Captain Obvious! I hope you don't mind if I adapt those modes for my fusion macro? I will (of course!) annotate this section as well:

Code: [Select]

Filmic tonemap operator is based\non John Hable's work for Unchartered 2:\nhttp://filmicgames.com/archives/75\n\nExponential luma operator is used by \nmodo and Maxwell.\n\nReinhard operator is Reinhard global.\n\nCorona is from the 3ds Max plugin render\nengine Corona.\n\n\nCopyright 2013 Simon Lundberg\nFeel free to re-use, adapt, distribute\nand change tool to suit your needs,\nbut please don't sell it.

Go for it. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on it when you're done. I'm one of those few crazy people who own and use both Fusion and Nuke! :-D

[Juraj]

I am super curious about the "filmic" curve, keeps very nice contrast overall. What is it ?
If this gets converted to Fusion I will install it the very next day.

"Once you have,you can't live without it" :- D Incredible source btw, so many other cool .pdfs about graphic, forwarded to my brother/graphic programmer.

Ok, I have just implemented it and I'm playing around. It is... kind of strange at first but I think it's just the "I need to get used to it" feeling. It's not just setting a bright and dark value and that's it - no - you need to balance shoulder, linear and white point if you play with one of the values.

I'll do the other curves and post an updated macro later :)

Hello DeadClown

MacroScript for 3DStudio Max?

[Chakib]

Thanks Deadclown and Captin Obvious for this interesting script
 i've tested the one for Nuke and it works nice, i must test it with other corona renders and my next work.
