Hey All, this is Eric from VFX Tools. I was just talking with Jeff on Logik Live about my software Headcase & Wrap It, and he suggested we could talk here about other plugins/tools that you’d like to see in Flame. The reason I made my first AE plugin (Extendo!) was because I couldn’t accept that th…

[image] allklier: In the previous example it was simply an offset shift between the channels, a global color adjustment, which could have been a CDL. In this second test, a number of more complex color elements - a FEL, a H-S curve on the lips, a H-H curve on the shirt strap, and an overall S-S…

the match grade node is only in NukeX FYI. To clarify unless there is some AI magic under the hood I don’t expect the result to be pixel perfect. Just needs to be close and be able to generate .cube file. We often run into this when we are working ungraded and client goes to do a look set with a…

Totally. I think this version achieves the goal. Let me know what you think.

Alright, the MatchGrade just needs a little extra love. What other tools/plugins/nodes from other DCCs are must-haves in Flame?

Nuke’s curve tool would be near the top first of my list and seems like it would achievable in an OFX.

I’d rather a match colour node (colour, no grade) than chase unicorns with LUTs.

I would tend to agree. Because if it’s not a close match (as in my 2nd test case) you still have to go through and figure out what’s off. Rather than a grade node (or maybe in addition to), what would be great is if the AI model could do the analysis and come back with something like this: To matc…

What do you know…. Not a bad start. Missed the sat-sat curve, and the red desat on the lips. But it’s something: [image] With a little help it got closer on the rest: [image] [image]

Step 2 in the Claude experiment, I asked Claude to build me a LUT with everything it suggested. At first it hesitated, suggesting I do the LUT myself, but then offered to write python script to generate the LUT and actually run it, so I had a downloadable LUT file. Result: Not perfect, but more nu…

Moving the MatchGrade discussion over here. This is a newer build than the link above. Please test and lmk what feedback you have. Looking forward to other plugin ideas you have. Let me know if there are tools/plugins you need built at your studio ( eric@thevfxtools.com .) [image] …
