ZOZO's Contact Solver for Blender looks super impressive. https://t.co/FAjo3rmYte

There has been a lot of curated video with good lighting, how about under direct sunlight?

Ok.

@mtrantalainen In a nutshell, it's more than just an s curve. There is some special handling of the highlights to prevent hue shift similar to what Agx does. The key is that this completely takes over the processing from the camera ISP.

What about fire? Most phones make the color all yellow and overexposed.

This is Latent:

@enjalot I'll definitely open source it at some point. But publishing and supporting it across a huge array of Android devices is going to be a pain, so most likely it's going to be a toy for technical people.

"Come on, show us scenes with higher dynamic range! shot on Latent"

[Mike Pan @themikepan]

"What about the telephoto lens? Can that also get the Latent treatment?"

Absolutely! Not a tinge of cyan-shifting on this blue 787.

"But can Latent handle neon lights without the nasty gamut clipping?" You betcha! https://t.co/vXBGyVvGNG

@JonLampel The beauty of this is once all the plumbing is done. I can just expose a single shader for people to do whatever they want.

This is why I built my own image processing stack for my Pixel 10 Pro from scratch: https://t.co/4lWhL6pm8W

A open secret is that all cameras are basically the same. Just look at the sensor.

Leica SL2-S? IMX410
Sony a7 III? IMX410
Lumix S5II? IMX410
BMCC6k? IMX410

Same photosites…but they still manage different feels.

The processing pipeline is where it gets interesting.

[Mike Pan @themikepan]

@GradManuel Yup one day I'll release it, but it might be fairly limited in hardware support due to the fragmented Android ecosystem.

@dfelinto Of course not. I really appreciate that! My goal is to eventually add more visuals to really illustrate the learning journey, but in the meantime, I thought I'd leave some random notes so I don't forget myself.

[Mike Pan @themikepan]

@dfelinto Fixed!

@lauriewired I had a CUDA workload that ran 10% faster when I turn on my Bluetooth headphone. Ended up tracing it back to the way interrupts were handled by windows.

@superhivemarket This is a scam right?

[Mike Pan @themikepan]

@Chasing_Nemesis We'll you could ... And it would still render on an 8gb gpu

Finally, Cycles GPU Texture caching is coming! Blender is here to save us from the GPU and memory apocalypse.
