Mtn House Exterior

[OPEN_RANGE]

This is an exterior of the project I previously posted interiors of. I will be doing another version as a summer scene after the valley is in full leaf. 2 weeks from now +/-

The main purpose is to show the view

Here is the same rendering with filmic tone mapping applied

I don't understand why the image is not being displayed at full size and why it cannot be clicked on and appear full size in new window? I upload attachment and choose full size. What am i doing wrong?

Will check about the image size... what's the original resolution?

How do you apply the filmic tone mapping, out of curiosity?

Best regards,
Vlado

Vlado,

Thank you for taking the time to look into this. The original resolution of the images I uploaded is 2000 x 1333 px. Not sure why they don't enlarge. I posted some images (screen grabs) in another thread (that I have linked to below) and that worked as expected. Should I try re-posting these images?

Regarding tone mapping: I have tried two methods. The method I used on this image is by using a free version of Fusion and a macro that provides a filmic tone mapping tool/node for Fusion. It has slider controls to adjust the shoulder and toe values, works very well. The one gotcha is that the free Fusion has a max image size limitation of 3240 x 2160. I'd like to render at 4000 px. I am a one person freelancer and cannot justify a full version of Fusion just to do this tone mapping.

I became aware of this Fusion tone mapping method and how to implement it from a link in another thread on the Chaos forum. It was to a video that discusses various tone mapping options. cost $25 to watch.

I have also been following this thread:
https://forums.chaosgroup.com/forum/...-ocio-and-lut/

I have tried using the filmic tone mapper that is posted in that thread. I used it in the VFB but can''t seem to get it working well in pshop (my discussion of that is in the thread). I may try getting up to speed with After Effects and see how that goes. the other issue with this method is the lack of controls for the tone mapper like are available in fusion.

I hope this info may be useful for you. thanks again for your help!
