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 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.
I'm sure some will say that the orange and cyan looked better, and there's indeed nothing wrong with having such stylized looks 😄 It was all accidental though; those colors were emerging from a faulty image formation process.
We will need to revisit the lighting and grading in order to make it look a bit more exciting, but this time we have the necessary control and (more) sanity in the color pipe.
Jokes aside, this is awesome work!
Also, I aspire to be as good at naming stuff as you are when I grow up ;)
