STRAT Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Hi guys. That nice guy Paul Everett has done it again Final Touch - a new plugin that allows real time post image manipulation. Add the plugin to the render effects list in the render dialogue box, render your image, then the FT interface pops up allowing you to manipulate things like shadow density, radiosity strength, grain amount/size, contrast, saturation, colour curves, edge anhancement, bluriness etc etc. These settings are all adjusted on the image on the screen in real time. The solution will then be applied to the finished render. This solution can be saved and added to future renders or animations. The demo is available from his site here - http://www.tools4d.com/finaltouch/final.htm with the full product being a very reasonable price too a quick screenie of the interface - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 GREAT! Now my morning is going to be shot playing with a new tool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernest Burden III Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 left as render right with adjustment. Lee Are you adding grain or is that from the stochastic rad? It LOOKS like the tool offers a 'grain' slider. Don't show that to STRAT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 hehe i was thinking of you Ernest when i saw this plugin this morning - it does have a grain slider. It allows you to do normal mode gi, the post in this added grain (both grain size and amount) to get the stotch mode gi effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grain size, I like that! Photoshop doesn't have an easy way to adjust grain size. That's one reason I usually render to no more than 3000 pixels--the grain get's too small. I wasn't going to look at this plugin since it seemed to just mirror all the Photoshop tools I use, but maybe this is worth a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 I wasn't going to look at this plugin since it seemed to just mirror all the Photoshop tools I use, but maybe this is worth a try! the other major difference is that this plug in is ever so cheap, AND fully animatable. just testing it again now, it can give very 'toon' like renders too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leed Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Sorry Ernest been away this morning. As Strat mentioned the Grain is integrated within the plug-in. Strat Have you managed to do any test animations with grain? Just wondering if it flickers. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee not yet. i'm downloading the full version on monday morning, so i'll do a couple of tests and post the results up here. but i been getting some wonderfull toon like renders using the edge enhance sliders with the other general colour changers.
