Black-level Matching Tool Using Hypot

Flame Tips and Tricks
1

I posted this in the thread with the hypot shader Sinan made, but I figured I’d put it as it’s own topic in case it ended up hard to find in there. This is a setup I adapted after watching Tony Lyons describe how his blacksmatch gizmo for nuke works. Uses hypot blendmode (the matchbox Sinan made is what I’m using here) to quickly match black levels in varying depths of your composite.

Here’s an explainer video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BEvgE3pT9A

And here’s the set up and images used in the demo:

Dude! This is awesome! Thanks for taking the time to implement this technique and recording the video.

It’s a great use case which I didn’t even know about.
