Lens Sharpness/Softness Sculpting Tool - Texture Frequency Equalizer Nuke Gizmo
Cinematographers obsess over the softness and sharpness of their images, deliberating over lens choice and shooting settings to dial in the textural look that suits their creative vision.
As CG artists, we too often ship our renders out of the box, perhaps with just a small amateurish blur to "fix" CG's unnatural sharpness.
With this Nuke Gizmo, unlock tools used by Cinematographers and Colorists in professional Finishing software such as FilmLight's Baselight and DaVinci Resolve! Sculpt the softness and sharpness of your image across different sizes of detail to achieve a more photographic and cinematic result, all in the pursuit of your creative and narrative intent.
This Nuke Tool-
-Provides softening and sharpening control across 6 different pre-defined detail/frequency sizes/bands, from Fine to Coarse
-Allows softening and sharpening of custom user-defined detail/frequency sizes/bands
-Is built after the Texture Equalizer tool found in FilmLight's Baselight and the Texture Pop tool found in DaVinci Resolve
Developed by Conlen Breheny and Gabriel Martinez.
Offered for FREE, but please feel FREE to tip if this tool helps you improve your images and you'd like to support myself and Gabriel!
