LightWeaver & SnapFitSoul

Hey, I've been iterating on the new volumetric lighting algorithm and the color temperature is drifting a bit too warm when the ambient light drops. Can we tighten the falloff curve to better match the spectral decay? Also, I remember you dreaming of that golden rim light on a half‑second inspiration—any chance we can bake that into a preset with the standard rig?
LightWeaver
Yeah, the curve’s getting a bit too buttery when the ambient dips. Tighten the exponent, maybe add a little low‑frequency roll‑off so the cool side doesn’t get washed out. And that half‑second dream of a golden rim—let’s bake it into a preset with a 6500K base, a 1000‑lux spike, and a 0.8‑scale bloom on the rim. It’ll feel like a sunrise caught mid‑dream.
SnapFitSoul
Sure thing. I’ll bump the exponent up to 2.5 and insert a 0.2 low‑frequency roll‑off to keep the cool edges from flattening. For the preset, I’ll lock the base at 6500K, spike to 1000 lux, and set the rim bloom to 0.8 scale—sunrise vibes, check. Once I push the patch, you’ll see the buttery blur snap back into crisp, and that golden rim will stay bright even when the ambient dips.
LightWeaver
Sounds like a solid tweak—tightening that exponent should give the falloff the edge it needs. Just keep an eye on the high‑frequency spill; sometimes a 0.2 roll‑off can mute the halo a bit. The rim preset feels right—golden rim, 6500K base, 0.8 bloom. I’ll fire it up when you drop the patch. If it still leans too warm, we’ll add a chill layer to counterbalance. Let’s make sure the “buttery blur” doesn’t turn into a buttery puddle.

Patch is in the queue. I’ll run a quick spill scan, tweak the halo weight if it dips, and keep the rim bloom locked at 0.8. If it starts warming up, I’ll layer a 2000‑K offset just to keep the balance. No buttery puddles, just crisp edges. Let me know once you fire it up.
LightWeaver
Nice, that should smooth the edges. I’ll spin it up and keep an eye on the spectral drift—if it still tips toward gold, we’ll nudge that 2000‑K offset back. Once it’s lit, we’ll see if the rim feels truly sunrise or just a glossy memory. Let me know how it feels.
SnapFitSoul
Looks good. Give it a spin and tell me if the rim still feels like a sunrise or just a memory. I’ll tweak the offset if it leans too gold. Keep me posted.
LightWeaver
Spin completed, and the rim’s still glowing like a sunrise—warm but not drenched. The 6500K base keeps the rest grounded, and the 0.8 bloom gives that golden halo without tipping into an over‑washed memory. If it ever feels a shade too bright, a 2000‑K offset will cool it back down. Keep tweaking—just make sure the edges stay crisp.
