I've been toying with the idea of taking an old film camera’s exposure quirks—grain, depth of field, that warm hiss—and feeding them into a real‑time VR engine. Imagine walking through a digital set that looks and feels like it was lit and captured on a 35mm lens. What’s your take on blending that analog soul with the precision of a 3D pipeline?

Sounds like a fun experiment, but remember film is a chemical reaction, not just a visual trick. The grain, depth of field, and warm hiss come from silver halide crystals and lens optics, not from code. A grain shader can mimic the texture, but the exposure curve, shutter lag, and aperture timing are mechanical truths you’ll have to model if you want that real analog feel. Blend the analog quirks into the 3D pipeline, but keep the lens distortion and bokeh grounded in optics, and don’t let the digital shortcuts erase the soul of the old camera.
