Usually the color grading enhances the quality of production, but on this case it’s entirely opposite
Felt more real while seeing the monitor shots
Either way great work 👍🏼

As someone that works in real time technologies in Australia, I am very interested in this process. I wanted to ask if you had any plans to create connections from Sidius Link to engines like Unity or UE5?

It’s always changing but we are still using cars from 1980’s

You have the money, feels more like showing off than educational.

[@scangraphic1999]

True!❤
