Add comparisons with popular tonemappers to the README #3

Open Calinou opened 1 year ago

I'd like to see comparison screenshots in the README with linear, Reinhard, Filmic and ACES tonemapping :slightly_smiling_face:

Which specific flavors of those operators are you interested in seeing?

What do you mean by flavors in this context?

There's not a single ACES and not a single Reinhard. "Filmic" is a general category for a bunch of them... And I personally don't use any of those, so don't know what should be part of such a comparison.

I think you could pick any popular 3D engine or rendering application for this, though the engine/application needs to support TonyMcMapface obviously :slightly_smiling_face:

I'd say Blender personally if possible, but maybe other people will be more interested in Unreal. (I don't think Godot 4 can use this LUT, or at least not yet – although I haven't tried.)

I can run some basic comparisons with specific open source HLSL/GLSL shaders, but I'm not an active user of any of the software you listed. I wouldn't want to do anyone a disservice by making an uninformed comparison :eyes: If you make one in your favorite software, I can link it from the README :slightly_smiling_face:
