Another way to disable tonemapping

Very informational thread, subscribing

Btw In theory the EyeAdaptation node in the postprocess material should help with controlling the auto exposure, but for me it doesnt do anything. Any thoughts?

I’ve used it in the past in non-Post Process materials to have an emissive material that adjusts with the auto-exposure. Super useful for gameplay FX that should be visible at all times. But yeah, it’s not working for me in a Post-Process Material and I haven’t looked into it too much.

Exposure is usually done before tonemapping, so it’s possible when replacing the tonemapper that it’s not available? I haven’t tried it in a “Before Tonemapping” material yet, but that could be a start to know for sure. Or maybe it’s just not available in the Post-Process shader.

Well the documentation itself states to use it in a PP material set to replace the tonemapper, exactly to do that - your own tonemapper

Thank you, it works, exactly what I am looking for. Oh, it has been 3 years since this post, but it still works.

I will add a comment with pictures of implementing the stated above with little tweaks:
Step 1: Create postprocess volume:

Step 2: Assign postprocess material:

Step 3: Change Material Domain to Post Process and Blendable Location to Replacing the Tonemapper:

Step 4: Setup the material like this with converting Linear colours to sRGB:

And you are done. It is perfect for projects with Paper2D
