Hi Lyle,
regarding MagicBullet and comparison to various plugins out there, like NIK collection (or Topaz, or quite many other) I don't think that's really the same.
MagicBullet isn't collection of ready-made filters foremost, it's much more color grading and curve tweaking post production tool with very easy,
friendly and intuitive workflow. It comes bundled with "filters", but it's just premade setups of the various nodes. My post-production is so simple,
there is zero compositing (which I do for animations, but that is just Z-Depth&FrischluftLensCare for DOF in AE), so I need something fast, easy, with quick
re-usability between images in same set.
I've received lot of questions regarding my Corona setup here, and I hope no one will be dissapointed much, because there is nothing I really changed, it's tidbits.
(but that does speak a lot on behalf of Corona no?)
Regarding the exteriors, it's default almost. You can spot probably 0.05 in texture resolution, which is because my HDRi is 12 000px. If it indeed samples more efficiently (aka "smartIBL" ) I am not that sure, didn't bothered with tests much.
Even the MSI is at default 20. For interiors, the difference is MSI400 in Livingroom (due to secondary reflections) and MSI50 in bedroom, the PT samples were increased to 32 as well in interiors.
Well,here..
Cheers guys, talk soon..
