Hey everyone, I wanted to open up a conversation about the 'look' of our work. In my past life as a photographer and filmmaker, I was obsessed with "realness." That digital, clinical perfection was usually the enemy. We spent our time adding grain, hunting for the right LUTs, and emulating old film stocks in post-processing—anything to give the image some soul. Now that we’re all deep into AI, that "plastic," over-polished look is everywhere. It’s technically impressive, but it’s often a dead giveaway that it was made by a machine. Usually, you’d fix this in post-processing (Lightroom, Photoshop, etc.). But what’s interesting about the node-based tools we’re using now is that we can bake that character in during the generation process. I’m curious to hear from the community: What’s your go-to move for breaking that AI glassiness? I’m currently mapping out a few different workflows to show exactly how you could handle this, so stay tuned for those. But for now how are you guys doing it?
