Issue 7331
iClone Native Render Does Not render the same quality/clarity as seen in the viewport when HDR Effect is enabled
Without HDR the render output is exact but with it on it renders blurry and super light (hazy) -never rendering the color levels, sharpness & contrast as seen in the viewport. Perhaps a clue and part of the fix to the issue is to set the HDR "brightness threshold" set to 150 -it renders almost identical but the color level is reduced/faded on the export.
Based on the brightness threshold 150 setting maybe iClone needs to be recalibrated so the output better matches the viewport?
I tested this rendering with Bloom.. Bloom does take away sharpness on the exported images but shouldn't because a screen capture does a better job than rendering so you might want to consider using screen capture on render with borderless fullscreen window -the full screen window could be an emulated monitor at whatever resolution is set in the render settings.
I don't know if this is a bug or just that high quality renders with HDR is currently not optimized with iClone but by default we should be getting clean/matched Native renders.
