      Hi. Using blender version 4.4. When I change the exposure settings In render settings I replay the animation and it reverts to original exposure settings of zero. My render properties and output properties are identical I.e follow scene. I’m not entirely sure why the exposure adjustments are not working considering I am following scene settings

        Ok I’ve figured it out. There was a conflict with my photographer addon. For anyone seeing this in future make sure if you are utilising the photographer addon do all your camera work and adjustments in there, particularly the exposure settings. Cheers

          Always those sneaky little Addons😉

          (I was just about to write that I can’t reproduce your issue, but you already solved it, luckily.)

            I probably don’t need about 90% of my excessive add-ons library 🤔

              I always work with default Blender and enable an addon only when I feel I need to use it. If I haven’t used one for a while, I deactivate it.

                I use default blender plus node wrangler and 2 of my own. One of those is an addon manager so that I can turn on and off the add-ons I use regularly. I use to have a very low power system and now it’s habit.

                  Guys do any of you know how to retain assigned materials after realising instances? I want to do some compositing using render layers and need my GN converted to a mesh but of course on realising instances it messes with materials. I’ve scoured YouTube but can’t really find anything worthwhile. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

                    I’m not exactly sure what you mean, but you can assign instances the material based on it’s data or object:

                      Hi Christopher,

                      Can you give a bit more context please?

                      Here is a very simple GN set-up and if you Apply the Modifer, visually nothing changes; the Asssigned Materials stay.

                        So I’ve set my materials as per the tutorial but as soon as I realise instances everything turns a weird greenish colour

                              I basically lose all of my assigned materials upon realising instances

                                HI Christopher, 

                                Maybe try this:

                                Insert a Realize Instances Node between the Join Geometry and the Group Output Node. Then you should be able to Apply the GN Modifer.
