Compositing

Pass-aware beauty stack. Subtle grade. Delivery-ready outputs.

When to Use

  • Final beauty composites from Cycles/Eevee
  • Grade, glare, vignette, chromatic subtlety
  • Pass recombination (diffuse, glossy, volume, cryptomatte)
  • Shot delivery plates

Workflow

Enable passes → Render multilayer EXR (or needed passes)
  → Compositor graph → Grade → FX (glare/fog glow)
  → Output viewer + File Output → Validate exposure

Recommended Passes

| Pass | Use | |------|-----| | Beauty / Combined | Base | | DiffCol / DiffDir / DiffInd | Relight flexibility | | GlossDir / GlossCol | Spec control | | Volume | Smoke/fire isolation | | Cryptomatte Object/Material | Isolations | | Mist | Depth grade / fog |

Beauty Stack (Default)

Combined
  → Exposure / Color Balance (AgX-aware)
  → Glare (fog glow / streaks sparingly)
  → Lens distortion (subtle)
  → Vignette (subtle)
  → Output

Grade Rules

1. Fix exposure before creative grade 2. Prefer lift/gamma/gain or color balance over crushed curves 3. Keep skin/product hues plausible 4. Match reference stills with side-by-side

Outputs

  • `OUT_Beauty_[Shot]`
  • Optional: `OUT_Alpha`, `OUT_CryptoID`
  • Prefer EXR for archival; PNG/JPEG for review

Constraints

MUST DO

  • Grade on view transform–aware pipeline (AgX)
  • Keep creative FX reversible in node graph
  • Document exposure/look settings

MUST NOT DO

  • Crush blacks to hide lighting problems
  • Over-glare every bright pixel
  • Flatten multilayer to JPEG as only archive

Reference Guide

| Topic | Reference | Load When | |-------|-----------|----------| | Pass Stack | `references/pass-stack.md` | When needed | | Grade Presets | `references/grade-presets.md` | When needed | | Delivery Outputs | `references/delivery-outputs.md` | When needed |
