Hi,

I have been undertaking renders in vue ( 6 inf) for some months now. At first I was blown away by the realism of it all, but as time has gone by I have startert to develop a more critical eye for detail, especially with the lighting and one area that seems to catch my eye is that the CGI colours are all a bit too...colourful.

Can anyone perhaps offer some suggestions as to good ways of "dumbing down" or softening the colours of a render to make it a bit less vivid. I've tried using various hue/sat tweaks in photoshop but can't quite seem to get realistic results. Might a filter layer be the best way or some other technique perhaps ?

Looking forward to reading your thoughts .

Try using the Natural Film Response camera post processing setting inside of Vue

Might help if you attach a picture of one of your renders that you think is too colorful. 

I take diffuse down to 40% & ambient down to 20% on most all mats to avoid the brightness.

I don't know if it is recent releases, but I have noticed in my last few renders that I have brought into Photoshop that the colors are much brighter than they appeared when I worked with them in Vue 6 .5 I. I was using the last release. I always use the natural film response. Prior to this, there was not much difference to the renders in Vue and how they looked in Photoshop. All the test renders using Final looked fine. I haven't changed any of my methods.
