  @virtualbri Well thats my biggest fear becoming reality: Big studios will use their leverage for special licensing deals, while the individual artist gets (again) screwed over / ignored.

  mhmm this is work in progress, and waaayy in experimental stage. Auto reconstruction of the sun in a clipped hdri. Testing it with my misery street hdri. Next step would be to give it a proper application (currently crammed in another project for tzesting it with hardcoded values)

  Saw an ad yesterday...in the middle of it I noticed the typical AI look at the faces... which immidiatly produced a strange feeling of "dishonesty" towards the product.

  https://diffusionlight.github.io/turbo/ Its pretty much straightforward once you got your Anaconda Environment setup. Major hickup under windows is that you need to do a pip install OpenEXR (without any versioning requirement) and remove its reference from the requirement.txt (Maybe just delete the version number in requirements is enough, but thats what I did.) Quite fast to the normal version progress bar is borked (humps form 0 to 100) Mostly for toying around.

  Another longterm on/off experiment started: MacBeth matcher which tries to match two macbeth charts. After that it exports a matrix correct (for color and intensity) and color correct node (for saturation) to the clipboard to be used in blackmagic fusion. The idea is to match the plate cam towards the pano cam (color correcting the first) do the render and apply the inverse to the render. Still not satisfied with the current result, (3x3 matrix is limiting) . so this might lead to nothing.
