[FREE] Amplify Color - Advanced Color Grading

Hello,

Glad to know you're enjoying Amplify Color, I can see you have setup some nice tones to help set the mood for those two areas in the screenshots!

I'll need some more information in order to help you with that issue, could you please share your Unity and Amplify Color versions, together with the application log? Also, what is the target platform for the build?

Looking forward to your reply!

 

Hi I'm so glad that i got a quick reply.
I'm using unity 5.6.1f x64 for windows and amplify color 1.6.6 and platform build is also windows.
Where i can find application log ?

 

You may find it within the Build's Data folder ( _EXECNAME_Data_\output_log.txt ).

 

oh yes. thank you

 

Thank you for providing the log file!

Is the issue present without the "Tenkoku Sun Shafts"?

Can you replicate the issue in a new project?

 

So did you find any bugs or issues ? I will try tomorrow and build a new project only with color grading and see if it's work or not. Thanks for your concern. By the way I love all of your amplify products. They are amazing.

 

We suspect the issue might be related to an external plugin, not with Amplify Color itself, but we can only tell for sure after you provide us with the required information or a sample of the project with the problem present.

Thank you for your feedback, it means alot to us!

 

Thank you very much. And one more question that I have dynamic lighting system in my scene. And I talk to a professional lut artist so he told I shouldn't use the same lut for different lighting. So amplify will work with dynamic light ? And where should I send my project ?

 

Amplify Color is an image effect, it works with any type of lighting.
You may switch or blend luts in realtime, and Amplify Color also provides Color Volumes which you may use to define grading parameters per zone. It also includes Tonemapping control, Depth Masking and a mask input for object isolation ( Sample available ).

Please send us the sample through WeTransfer to support@amplify.pt, thanks!

 

oh thats nice. well i'm sorry for the trouble , everything is fine now and its working. i just add amplify color component to camera and create some 3d object. and i build the demo and its working. thank you so much once again

 

Hi, I've run into the same problem. Could I get some help with the solution? Thanks in advance!

 

No problem, happy to help.

Be sure to check the fully functional sample package, we would be happy to help if you run into any issues.

2D Masking Sample - Download

Thanks!

 

Thank you! This package does exactly what I want, except for one little bug (I think it's a bug).

I have a 2D scene with the following sprites:

Background (sorting layer 1): layer 1
Background_light (sorting layer 2): layer 2
Foreground (sorting layer 3): layer 3
Foreground_light (sorting layer 4): layer 4

The light sprites contain yellow-tinted, semi-transparent areas.

So I attached the Render Color Mask component to my camera and set it up like this:

Layer Draw order:
1
2
3
4

So let's say I have a LUT texture making the scene look quite dark. If I set Layer Mask to 2, the Background_light sprite (for instance a little car in the distance) can be seen driving along the dark background road. When it runs behind the Foreground sprite (for instance, a tree in the foreground), the tree correctly blocks the light.

Now let's say Foreground_light is a lamp post with semi-transparent yellow light. If I set Layer Mask to 4, and then place the lamp in front of the foreground tree, the tree looks like it's being illuminated by it. Perfect!

Both effects work separately. The problem only happens when I set Layer Mask to 2 AND 4. Then the lamp still works, but the light from the car is no longer blocked by the tree.

How can I make this work?

 

Thank you for using Amplify Color, we really appreciate it. I'm not entirely sure if it's a bug, we would need to test an actual sample in order to debug the issue. Can you share a simple example directly to support@amplify.pt?

Thanks!

Hello,

I have a few questions related to the layering in a 2D mobile game. What I'm trying to achieve is that the characters in the game world are not affected by the LUT but the layering is still intact. For example: the characters walk under trees or are rendered behind a building.

I was testing out the Render Color Mask Script which actually worked out quite well visually BUT the mask was way too big. It was over 50 mb. So my question would be if there is an alternative way to exclude certain layers that is more optimized for mobile games?

Thanks for any help!

 

Hello,

Thank you for getting in touch, we would be happy to help. Unfortunately, that method of masking is the only available way to do it. However, 50 mb does sounds a bit high, can you share a sample or an example directly to support@amplify.pt? We would love to learn more about your particular setup.

We have actually changed the way we manage masking. I'll send you a sample via pm, it's not yet available via the Asset Store or our Download page.

Thanks!

Hello,

Sounds similar to another known Unity issue, might work with Single-Pass stereo disabled.

https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...ereo-image-effects-are-not-rendering-properly

We will run a few tests on our side as soon as possible.

It's not a trial limitation, thank you for reporting it.

 

It seems like it helped. Thank you)

 

Updated to Unity 2017.2 and also updated Amplify Color to 1.6.6_dev002 and i can no longer see the image effect in the scene view, my vignette image effect still works, I can see my LUT in the game view, just not the scene view.

Rolled back to 1.6.4 and it works as expected.

 

Hello,

Thank you for reporting the issue, we can confirm that Amplify Color is working as expected on Unity 2017.2. Please pick up the latest version (1.7) directly from our website using your Unity invoice number and be sure to import the 2017 package.

Hey Guys,

Amplify Color is great just wondering if you could have a look at updating Amplify Color to use the single pass VR

 

Hey there!

Amplify Color should support Single Pass Stereo, could you please confirm which version of Unity you're using in your project? Thanks!

 

Hey thanks for the super fast response! I'm using 2017.2.0f3 you can repo it by creating an empty scene, add Amplify Color to the cam and enable Single Pass

 

Thank you for sharing that information, I've passed it on to the developer and we'll be sure to let you know as soon as we have any developments on this issue!

 

sorry if this is an easy question, but is there an easy way to apply my Amplify Color Effect to a png?

I was messing around with this free panorama plugin: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/38755

It seems to work very well, but it's ignoring my Amplify settings. Not that I'm doing anything complex with Amplify - just basic color grading. But it would be nice if I could automate this somewhat

 

Hello, thanks for getting in touch and for your support!

We've received similar reports in the past regarding image effect issues with this specific tool but, unfortunately, we are currently unable to officially support it. I would kindly suggest that you get in touch with the developer in order to determine the issue.

 

I did, thanks.

I feel like it would be fairly straightforward to add a feature to Amplify that applies a LUT to any PNG you give it. No? I know from my own experience that, aside from this panorama thing, I would want that functionality. I have numerous cameras in my game and a variety of ways to capture input. it would be nice to have a way to apply Amplify's effect after the fact instead of only during runtime to ensure a consistent look in all my screenshots. My two cents

 

Apologies for the inconvenience, but the product isn't prepared to receive such a feature without probably requiring extensive modifications and workload, as such we're not able to implement it at this moment, we will however register your suggestion.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback!

Is there a way to have the color blend based on how far into a volume you are rather than using blend time?

 

Hello, thank you for getting in touch!

At this moment, we only support Volume Color Blending through blending time, apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Hey guys,
I'm still experience this issue until now in any Unity 2017 versions.
This is frustrating because single-pass is a must have today for VR and you said that your plugin is VR friendly.

 

Hey there, this is a known Unity related issue that we're hoping to correct as soon as possible, apologies for the inconvenience.

We'll be sure to update this thread as soon as we have any new developments regarding this, or a possible workaround, thank you for your patience!

 

Upon further investigation we've confirmed that, due to an Unity related issue, the editor must be updated to 2017.2.1p4 (64-bit) or higher in order for Single-Pass Stereo to function correctly, also make sure that you pick up the latest Amplify Color version from our website.

Hi,
Thanks, this is a great color system!!
I'd like to apply your luts to several buttons that are using a render texture. Do you have any advice as to how to get this to work?
Thanks again!!

 

Hello, thank you for your kind words!

If you want each of the buttons to change the current LUT on being pressed, you'll have to do it by script, I've attached a simple example of a script that cycles through an array of LUT textures on key press, you'll just need to adapt it to your UI buttons and be sure to add it to the Camera with the Amplify Color component.

If instead you want a different LUT applied to each button with the render texture, you should be able to achieve such by adding the Amplify Color component to each render texture camera, and set a different LUT for each component. Do note that, performance-wise, having multiple cameras performing blending operations can become quite expensive, and that we don't recommend using AC for this purpose as its intended to function as a Post Effect.

Please let me know if this helps, thanks!

Hi I have some technical questions for amplify color and bloom.

I am currently using amiplify occlusion. Color and bloom but i am in need of creating a second camera for my fx rendering purpose.

I have my main camera rendering at hdr deferred rendering with occlusion and color post processing and then my second camera at forward rendering only rendering the fx. I want to put amplify bloom on the second camera and make it to add bloom effect on the final image.

However. When i set it up as such, bloom only effects the fx camera. It doesnt apply to everything that was being rendered to that point.

How can i solve this?

I have my fx camera's clearing to not clear anything. So i was expecting bloom post effect to affect both rendered images of main and fx camea.

 

Not a technical answer but potentially a workaround:

Instead of trying to deal with camera clearing, render the main camera to a renderTexture the size of the screen. Then, in the FX camera, draw that texture to a fullscreen quad, or a skydome with a shader that uses screenspace coordinates to sample the renderTexture, probably super early in the render queue so that opaque stuff gets rendered on top of it. There's some performance cost to this workaround, probably, but if you do it this way your FX camera should 'really see' the things it's supposed to, instead of (apparently) being composited on top of them afterwards.

(I developed this because I needed to set up a Deferred camera (my main player) to clear to another camera (my 3d skybox) and Unity only supports clearing cameras to other cameras directly in Forward. I haven't tested it with your problem. But, I think it should work.)

 

Thanks for the idea.

While i was tackling this issue. I was wondering why my fx camera's bloom effect was only applying to what fx camera is rendering and not to the image that made out of both main and the fx camera. Because the order of the rendering should be correct...

I am beginning to wonder if it is because of the difference in rendering path of the cameras...

I really hate to do another full screen draw just to do this...

Unity somehow does compose the two camera's rendering result as the final output...so my guess is that the composition happens after the image effects on the fx camera. Why Unity? Why?

 

Hey there! The Bloom effect is calculated on top of the results of the camera where it has been registered, so if the second camera only renders the FX you've mentioned, Bloom will only account for them.

What you might attempt to do is to change the clear flags of that camera for depth only, for example, so that the FX camera receives the color from the previous camera and, as result, it will be affected by Bloom. It might change your setup a bit, but it might be a possible solution.

Please let me know if this helps, thanks!

 

I have already set my fx camera's clearing to not clear anything. So i do see the my main camera's rendering result at the end of rendering fx camera. But the issue is the bloom only affects the fx camera rendereing, not on the combined rendering of the both camera. That is why it is weird.

 

I want to the ParticleSystemEffect doesnot be influenced by Amplify color effect when i set volume cull mask.....please tell me why?
