CG that sat in a camera
Clean renders give themselves away. This is the shot that sells the plugin to 3D teams.
DaVinci Resolve OFX
Optical dirt on CG and plates. Dust, grease, fingerprints, motes.
Drag the split. Left is the clean plate. Right is Lens dirt at a selling setting, not a filthy smear across the whole frame.
Four hits. Fingerprint, motes, smear, edge crud. If it does not read at thumbnail size, recapture tighter or hotter against the light.
Drop the OFX on a Color node. Last, or on a parallel so you can mix it. Built for the same jobs we finish, not a stock dust overlay.
Three jobs. Three stills. Each one should look like the lens was never cleaned.
Clean renders give themselves away. This is the shot that sells the plugin to 3D teams.
Dirt is nothing until it hits a highlight. This is the money angle.
The optic nobody wiped. Music video, fashion, or a plate that needs age without going tape.
