The Look Creator Kit is a collection of elements that are useful when creating Show LUTs and creative Look LUTs.
INCLUDED ELEMENTS
The LUT Assistant
A plugin for use in DaVinci Resolve that assist colorists in aligning gray values for Show LUTs. It detects the middle gray position of a grade and let the user adjust them to the appropriate camera levels.
3X3 Matrix DCTL
A 3×3 Matrix is a data set provided by ARRI, and it’s supposed to help bringing the hue values of the ARRI footage even closer to negative film scanned on the ARRI film scanner. By bringing them more in line with the hues of the “film scan”, the PFE LUT would perform better and more accurately achieve its intended response. A 3×3 Matrix is designed to be watched through a PFE LUT and is typically applied through a DCTL.
CMS Hald Pattern
A Hald is basically a 2D pattern that can store the same color values as a 3D LUT, and with the same high precision. A valuable too in professional LUT creation. This version is configured as 3×64-bit with 16-bit precision and is designed to store high-precision values.
Look Components
Various components in LUT form that can be used to create looks inside of DaVinci Resolve.
Shape component derived from Kodak 5219 print emulation, processed at Fotokem. It was created within a DRT workflow in Baselight by John Daro at Warner Bros.”
Tone Map component from the same emulation.
Varius hue transforms.
