Earns its place in the Superhive library for bringing render color adjustments into a single 3D View panel with real-time feedback.
Raw Render - Post-Production Tools is a Blender add-on from SMArchviz that provides a UI panel for perfecting colors directly in the viewport render. It offers real-time feedback and control over the overall look, so you can adjust renders without manually setting everything up in the compositing workspace.
From the "Post-Production" side panel in the 3D View, you can tweak and adjust the look of a render — correcting color tones, gamma, saturation and shadows, adding sharpness, and adding chromatic aberration. Multiple presets can be saved and loaded. The add-on works with both Cycles and EEVEE Next.
Version 1.1 added the option to export the post-production settings to a file and import them, so the same settings can be opened in other projects. It also added color correction settings for more control over the look of the image, along with minor bug fixes. Documentation is available, and a demo video is provided.
Raw Render - Post-Production Tools is best for blender artists who want to handle render post-production and color adjustments from a UI panel instead of the compositing workspace.
Raw Render - Post-Production Tools is completely free to download and use.
Raw Render - Post-Production Tools supports Blender versions 4.0 through 5.1, and the developer notes it also works with the upcoming Blender 4.3. It functions with both the Cycles and EEVEE Next render engines, giving you the same panel-based post-production regardless of which of those two engines your project uses. If you are on a different Blender release, check the developer's page to confirm compatibility before installing.
Raw Render - Post-Production Tools installs like a standard Blender add-on. Open "Edit" in the top bar and choose "Preferences," then select the "Add-Ons" tab. Click the "Install" button at the top right, navigate to the stored .zip file for the add-on on your computer, select it, and click Install Addon. Once enabled, you will have a 3D View side panel called "Post-Production" where the tools appear.
Raw Render - Post-Production Tools lets you save multiple presets and load them within a project. Version 1.1 added the ability to export the post-production settings to a file and import them again, so you can open those same settings in another project. This means the color tones, gamma, saturation and other adjustments you configure can be carried over rather than rebuilt each time you start a new scene.
Raw Render - Post-Production Tools is listed as free in this catalog. It is distributed under the GPL license. For current licensing terms and any purchasing details, check the developer's page directly, since terms can change over time. Documentation is available to help you get started, and a demo video is also provided for reference on how the add-on is used.
