I just noticed that emissive materials behave completely different from 4.14 to 4.15 and I’m wondering if there’s any way to get back the previous functionality or what I need to change to make emissive materials in 4.15 add more color to the scene.
On the left is an emissive material in 4.14. Notice the amount of glow around the preview and how much color is added to the scene. The same basic material in 4.15 though looks completely different. Is it possible to get this same effect in 4.15? What changed?
Thanks Ninjin. That’s exactly what I was looking for!
To save anyone else time, open your projects folder and inside the Config folder you’ll find DefaultEngine.ini. Open that and add “r.TonemapperFilm=0” without the quotes just below the [/Script/Engine.RendererSettings] header.
The end result needs to be amplified about 10x more than previous but it gives what I think is an even better result than before as you still get the bloom and proper coloring but it looks more realistic.
Yo guys
You don’t need to switch the tonemapper off.
This effect happens through the exposure.
So the solution is to put a postprocess volume and under exposure you can turn down the exposure compensation.
Maybe not the best solution it needs a little tweak to set it up right, but there I’ve found a way to correct the color of the emissive.
