Settings and defaults

Intensity

Sepia tints the whole picture in warm browns, the tone of old photographs. It turns a full-colour 3D scene into something that looks like an archive print, and it unifies a scene built from many different colours into one mood.

How it works

Every pixel of the finished frame is remapped toward a single warm brown tone, so light and shade survive but the colours become one family. Intensity blends between the original colours and the full sepia tone.

Settings

  • Intensity: at full strength the picture is completely sepia; lower values keep some of the original colour for a faded, warm grade rather than a monochrome one.

Use it for

Heritage brands, history and museum pieces, vintage product stories, nostalgic intros and flashbacks. The Retro preset sets sepia a little over half strength, with a heavy vignette and film grain. It suits objects that already feel analogue: the Projector image object throwing a picture through a hazy beam, Handwriting text, or warm candle light. Below full strength it also works as a warm grade for golden-hour and interior scenes that should feel remembered rather than live.
