HDR Color Grading Component
The HDR Color Grading component is a post-process effect that enables users to color grade scenes to match a desired look and feel. This component uses a shader behind the scenes to perform the color grading logic on each frame’s pixel.
To reduce compute time:
Generate a look-up texture (LUT) from the current color grading settings by clicking the Generate LUT button on the component.
Then, activate the generated LUT by clicking the Activate LUT button.
Upon activation, a Look Modification component is added to the current entity and subsequently the HDR Color Grading component is disabled.
