Colorful FX | Post-Processing Effects and Photoshop-like Color Correction Tools

I know some people use it with Oculus Rift and it works great (not sure about the latest version though). Most effects should work out of the box even with the last version. The ones that distort the screen (Analog TV, RGB Split etc) probably won't work as expected and will have to be adapted or tweaked to work on a per eye basis.

 

Of course ! Although I don't own the DK2 I'll do what I can to support it, so don't hesitate to contact me (here or by mail)

 

Is this by any chance running on an Macbook with an Intel HD 4000 ?

 

Hmm the HD6750 is not onboard, it's a dedicated GPU as well. Someone else had the same strange bug on a Macbook + HD4000 and it turned out to be a driver issue.

Are your drivers up to date ?
Could you try running your basic scene in OpenGL mode see if helps ? Use the the -force-opengl flag.

 

Version 2.0 is up !

Please note that the required Unity version has been bumped to 4.3. If for some reason you need a version compatible with Unity 3.5 to 4.2, please contact me directly.

Changelog (2.0) :

• Added a new quickstart launcher when you import or update Colorful.
  
• Added About Colorful and Colorful Manual in the Help menu.
• New effect, Contrast Vignette. The old vignette effect plays on darkness and saturation, this new one focuses on darkness and contrast enhancement which results in a more photographic look.
  
• Added a Center property to Fast Vignette to change the center point.
  
• Massive optimizations to the Hue / Saturation / Value shader.
  
• The Hue / Saturation / Value effect now comes with an optional advanced mode. This mode is a bit slower but way more powerful as you can now work separately on reds, yellows, greens, cyans, blues and magentas (like Photoshop).
  
• The Vibrance effect now comes with an optional advanced mode which uses a different algorithm and let you tweak how channels (RGB) are affected.
  
• The Levels effect editor has been rewritten from scratch. It's now more efficient and comes with a new Auto B&W feature (see the doc). Its public API hasn't changed so it should be compatible with the old one.
  
• Global cleanup pass and minor optimizations on all editor classes and shaders.
  
• Lots of UI fixes & usability tweaks.
  
• A few documentation fixes & additions.

Enjoy !

 

Well, this is concerning. Could you send me your email address (private message) ? As I'm unable to replicate this I'd like to send you a few shader variants to see if one of them fixes the bug you're getting.

 

Thanks to @silentslack I found and fixed two bugs with the Lookup Filter. I'll push a fix to the asset store asap !

 

Quick fix !

Changelog (2.0.1) :

• Fixed a HDR bug with the Lookup Filter.
• The Lookup Filter documentation has been updated. Make sure the Aniso Level on your LUTs is set to 0.

 

Make sure you check "Bypass sRGB Sampling" in the LUT import window ! You should get the exact same result in gamma and linear.

 

Indeed, something's not right... What's your setup ? Forward/Pre-pass ? LDR/HDR ? Could you send me the LUT to see if I can reproduce this ? Thanks !

 

Ok, I was able to reproduce it and pinpoint the issue. I'll push a fix asap !

 

Yep. I have a massive update coming for Chromatica with a cool "secret" feature. It will be patched as well.

 

Amplify Color acts as a bridge between Unity and Photoshop. You work in Photoshop and the result is exported to Unity.

Chromatica is a fully integrated solution (although you can still use Photoshop if you really want to), meaning you get all the usual Photoshop tools as well as some more powerful ones from the compositing world (auto white balance, three way color corrector...) inside Unity. Check out the quick demo video in this forum topic.

It's all about workflow, speed and ease of use. I also have some cool features coming (one of which will be in 1.1).

Side note : Chromatica should be compatible with Amplify Color's Volume feature. Both tools are complementary IMO.

 

Another quick fix !

Changelog (2.0.2) :

• Fixed a bug with Lookup Filter in linear mode.

 

I'm not sure, but it could be due to a corrupted library... Does it only happen with Colorful components ?

First thing first, make sure all the shader references are still there (see this previous post). That's the most common source of troubles, the editor loosing the shader references for some random reason.

If that doesn't fix it... Could you post the exact error message you're getting ?

There's something else you can try, I remember saving an old corrupted project of mine that way : close Unity (and backup your project, just in case), delete the Library and Temp folders from your project files and restart Unity, it will rebuild your project's library.

 

Big update today, go get it on the Asset Store or Itch.io !

Changelog (2.1) :

• New effect, "Vintage" comes with 19 fast & high quality Instagram filters :
  • 1977
  • Amaro
  • Brannan
  • Earlybird
  • Hefe
  • Hudson
  • Inkwell
  • Kelvin
  • LoFi
  • Mayfair
  • Nashville
  • Rise
  • Sierra
  • Sutro
  • Toaster
  • Valencia
  • Walden
  • Willow
  • X-Pro II

Thanks to Quantum Theory for letting me use his assets to showcase some of these effects !

​

 

It shouldn't happen by default, the shader reference got lost in your project for some reason (it can happen when copying files around). You can fix it easily, see this post (and the one just above).

 

Done ! An update should be available tomorrow, keep an eye on the store

 

Version 2.1.1 is up !

Changelog (2.1.1) :

• Added a "Scanlines Offset" option to the "Analog TV" effect to scroll the scanlines upwards/downwards.

 

What do you mean by "it doesn't work" ? Is the effect enabled in the Inspector ? What do you see on screen when you apply the effect ? Any error in the console ? I'll need more details about what's not working to be able to help you out.

 

This is strange. Unfortunately I don't have access to an Android device so I can't test it myself. The frost effect basically works by displacing the pixel in a random direction, using the Scale parameter as the distance. Because of the noise function used, it gives the picture this "grainy / frosty" look.

It seems like the noise function isn't working correctly with your setup (Unity 5b18 + Android Pro). I'm not sure why that would be the case. Maybe a shader compilation bug ? Or a shader incompatibility with this particular setup... Unity 5 is still in beta so it wouldn't be surprising.

Did it work with previous Unity 5 betas ? Or with Unity 4 ?

 

Version 2.2 is available !

Changelog (2.2) :

• Added 5 Instagram filters to the "Vintage" effect : Aden, Crema, Ludwig, Perpetua, Slumber.

 

Sure ! I'll push a quick update in a few hours

 

Here you go !

Changelog (2.2.1) :

• Added an "Amount" slider to "Lookup Filter" and "Vintage" to allow blending on the effects.

 

I'm not 100% sure how or why, but for the last few months I've been able to skip the submission queue and push quick updates straight to the store, which is quite cool ! I guess they have a list of "trusted developers" or something like that.
