What is a LUT?  

LUT, or ‘LookUp Table’, are a kind of color filter you use to alter the colors in your game. They apply predetermined sets of mathematical formulas to your game’s existing colors to change those colors and achieve a desired look.

Requirements  

All ‘LUTs’ effects are developed for ‘Universal Render Pipeline’ (or URP), which means they will not work with Built-In, or HDRP.

Unity 6 or Higher  

The current bundle is centered on Unity 6 and the URP Render Graph workflow. You will need URP 17.0.3 or higher installed. If you need help with setup, follow the official URP installation guide.

Make sure that ‘Compatibility Mode’ is disabled in ‘Project Settings > Graphics > Render Graph’.

Installation  

Step 1: Add Renderer Feature  

The effects must be registered in your project’s URP configuration:

1. Locate your Universal Renderer Data asset.
2. Click Add Renderer Feature and select the desired distortion from Fronkon Games > LUTs.

Once installed, you have to add the effect you want to use from ‘LUTs’ as a ‘Render Feature’. This official tutorial tells how to do it.

Remember that the camera you are using must have the ‘Post Processing’ option enabled.

Step 2: Configure The Volume  

To apply the effects to your scene:

1. Create a Volume component (Global or Local) or select one that has already been created.
2. In the Volume component, create or assign a Volume Profile.
3. Click Add Override and select the desired LUT from Fronkon Games > LUTs.
4. Enable the ‘Intensity’ parameter (and any others you wish to modify).
5. Assign one of the available profiles by clicking on ‘LUT Profiles’.

Using them in the Editor  

All ‘LUTs’ have an inspector similar to this one:

With the ‘Intensity’ set to 1 the effect is fully applied, with 0 it is deactivated and with the intermediate values you get a mix between the original and the final image.

There are two modes, the quality and the performance mode. The first one uses high resolution 3D textures, while the second one uses smaller versions. For VR and mobile I recommend the second mode.

Each lut is contained in a profile that you can find in the ‘Profiles’ folder. By clicking on ‘LUT Profile’ you will see all the available ones.

Select the tone operator, ‘Tonemap’, that best suits your needs. The most popular ones are available: Neutral, ACES and Reinhard. If you want more, you may be interested in ‘Artistic: Tonemapper’.

Color Grading  

Color grading lets you fine-tune the final look of the image after selecting a LUT. It is useful to push a preset further, adapt it to a specific scene, or make small corrections without changing the selected profile.

‘Exposure’ changes the exposure, or brightness. Just below you have a contrast control and an HDR color, ‘Tint’, to shift the whole image towards a specific color.

To rotate all colors around the color wheel, use ‘HUE’. To increase or decrease the overall amount of color, use ‘Saturation’.

‘Vibrance’ changes saturation in a more selective way. It boosts the less saturated colors first, so it is a good option when you want a stronger image without oversaturating colors that are already intense.

With ‘White balance’ you can adjust the perceived temperature of the image. First you can make it perceived cooler or warmer. The next parameter modifies the color used to vary the perceived temperature.

Split Toning  

‘Split toning’ is used to tint shadows and highlights of an image separately. A typical example is to push shadows toward cool blue and highlights toward warm orange.

Use ‘Shadows’ to select the color applied to the darker parts of the image, and ‘Highlights’ to choose the tint for the brighter areas. The ‘Balance’ parameter shifts the transition between both ranges, giving more weight to shadows or highlights depending on the look you want.

Channel Mixer  

‘Channel mixer’ allows you to combine input RGB values to create a new RGB value. For example, you could swap R and G, subtract B from G, or add G to R to push green toward yellow.

Each output channel has its own control: ‘Red’, ‘Green’ and ‘Blue’. Inside each one, the three values define how much of the input red, green and blue channels will be used to build that final output channel. Default values keep the image unchanged, but changing them lets you remap colors, create stylized looks, or simulate color-filtered film responses.

Shadow Midtones Highlights  

The last setting is ‘Shadow Midtones Highlights’. It works like split toning, but it also lets you adjust the midtones and configure the shadow and highlight ranges independently.

Use ‘Shadows’, ‘Midtones’ and ‘Highlights’ to tint each tonal range separately. The ‘Range’ sliders define where the shadows end and where the highlights begin, so you can decide how much of the image belongs to each region and create smoother or more aggressive transitions between them.

Advanced  

They also have an ‘Advanced’ panel with these options:

Activate ‘Affect Scene View?’ if you want the effect to be applied also in the ‘Scene’ window of the Editor.

VR  

To increase compatibility with VR devices, I recommend that you select ‘Stereo Rendering Mode’ in ‘Multi Pass’ mode:

Using them in code  

Once you have added the effect in the Editor, you can also control ‘LUTs’ effects by code.

First you must add the corresponding namespace. They are all of the style ‘FronkonGames.LUTs.XXXX’, where XXXX is the name of the effect. For example, if the effect you want to use is ‘Cyberpunk’ the code would be:

using FronkonGames.LUTs.Cyberpunk;

The effects use Volumes, so the usual workflow is to get the effect component from a VolumeProfile and then modify its parameters. In the following example we change the intensity of the effect by half.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering;
using FronkonGames.LUTs.Cyberpunk;

public sealed class CyberpunkController : MonoBehaviour
{
  [SerializeField]
  private VolumeProfile volumeProfile;

  private CyberpunkVolume volume;

  private void Awake()
  {
    if (volumeProfile != null)
      volumeProfile.TryGet(out volume);
  }

  private void Start()
  {
    if (volume == null)
      return;

    volume.intensity.overrideState = true;
    volume.intensity.value = 0.5f;
  }
}

To activate or deactivate the effect, the simplest option is to change the intensity:

if (volume != null)
{
  volume.intensity.overrideState = true;

  // Active.
  volume.intensity.value = 1.0f;

  // Inactive.
  volume.intensity.value = 0.0f;
}

You can load a profile in several ways. A profile is a ScriptableObject, so it must be referenced by some object, or loaded from a supported location such as Resources, to be included in the build.

A very simple way is to create a MonoBehaviour and add a list of profiles to it. This way Unity will include in the build the profiles that you have referenced.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering;
using FronkonGames.LUTs.Cyberpunk;

public sealed class ProfileBank : MonoBehaviour
{
  [SerializeField]
  private VolumeProfile volumeProfile;

  [SerializeField]
  private Profile[] profiles;

  private CyberpunkVolume volume;

  private void Awake()
  {
    if (volumeProfile != null)
      volumeProfile.TryGet(out volume);

    if (volume != null && profiles.Length > 0)
    {
      volume.profile.overrideState = true;
      volume.profile.value = profiles[Random.Range(0, profiles.Length)];
    }
  }
}

Another method you can use, more versatile, is to move the profiles folder into the Resources folder. Everything included in this folder will be added to the build and you can load its content with the Resources class:

// In this example the profiles are located
// inside Resources in the folder '[...]Resources/LUTs/Profiles/Cyberpunk'.
Profile profile = Resources.Load<Profile>("LUTs/Profiles/Cyberpunk/Cyberpunk_01");

if (volume != null && profile != null)
{
  volume.profile.overrideState = true;
  volume.profile.value = profile;
}

With this method, you can unload the profile when you no longer want to use it.

Resources.UnloadAsset(profile);

If you are using an effect other than ‘Cyberpunk’, just change the namespace, the VolumeComponent type, and the profile path to match that effect. Remember that every parameter is a VolumeParameter, so in code you usually need to modify both overrideState and value.
