I wrote a little HLSL ray marcher while experimenting with contact shadows and lighting "reference mode" for Tiny Glade.

Here's the code if anyone's interested: https://gist.github.com/h3r2tic/9c8356bdaefbe80b1a22ae0aaee192db

Finally, the most striking effect is at dusk. The bricks and rocks recover their hues, and the sickly orange overcast is gone. The sheep looks much healthier too.

The difference at night is subtle, and mostly visible in the sky, which once again loses its inexplicable cyan shift.

Day time gets a softer presentation, with somewhat suppressed highlights, and a more natural color for the bricks, without the strange greenish overcast. The cyan shifts near the horizon disappear as well.

Finally ported 🏰🌱 Tiny Glade to my 🌈🙈 Tony McMapface display transform (https://github.com/h3r2tic/tony-mc-mapface/).

The old transform was something I had developed years ago, and incorrectly considered "neutral". Here's a quick before & after comparison 🧵!

I've added a basic OCIO config to TonyMcMapface, so you can enjoy it in various content creation apps 😛

(I have no idea what I'm doing so I hope the config is okay 😅)

Introducing 🌈🙈 Tony McMapface 🌈🙈: a cool-headed display transform ("tone mapper")

Tony maps HDR Rec.709 to LDR in a (subjectively) natural way, without messing too much with contrast or look.

Comes as a LUT + HLSL for sampling it.
