No More Tonemapping - Unreal Engine

Tired of Unreal's Tonemapping?

Here is a basic unreal plugin that contains a single Post Process Material.

How To install:

1. Download Zip & Open
2. Drag the "NoTonemapping" folder into your projects Plugin Folder
3. Open Project/Restart project if open
4. New folder Called "Plugin>NoTonemapping"

From here you can either use the Material in Post Prossecing or Run the new Fuction called "Disable Tonemapping" anywhere in Unreal Blueprint

NODE:

True colors still seems a bit off but does most of the work

Or

Shader:

Gives the best color corection but may mess with some shaders & AA

Why remove Tonemapping?

1. True Color Representation: Tonemapping is typically used to map HDR (High Dynamic Range) colors to LDR (Low Dynamic Range) displayable on most screens. Disabling tonemapping can be useful if you want to achieve a more true-to-life or raw color representation in your visuals, which can be beneficial for certain types of art or design applications.
2. Non-Photorealistic Rendering: For certain artistic or stylized visual effects, turning off tonemapping can help achieve a specific look that might be disrupted by the usual HDR to LDR conversion process.
3. Technical Visualization: When developing applications like architectural visualizations, scientific simulations, or medical imaging, precise color and brightness representation without tonemapping might be necessary for accuracy.
4. Performance: Although the impact might be minimal, disabling complex image processing steps like tonemapping could potentially improve performance, especially on lower-end hardware.
