SMT 400 — Projects

Applied work: tools, experiments, and production studies. This tier documents builds, tests, and repeatable outcomes.

SMT 401 — Smak Lab Pattern Generator

Parametric test pattern generator for evaluating transforms, LUTs, and DCTL behaviour. Designed as a shared visual language for human review and model-based analysis.

SMT 402 — Smak Look Engine (SLE)

A modular look framework: parametric tone mapping, saturation shaping, hue-sector behaviour, and residual reconciliation. Built to preserve optionality across HDR/SDR workflows in a DWG/DI pipeline.

SMT 403 — Smak Grain Engine

Exposure-dependent grain synthesis designed to feel embedded in the image rather than overlaid. Focus on stability, scaling behaviour, and correct pipeline placement.

SMT 404 — Technicolor 2- / 3-Strip DCTL Studies

Experimental DCTL implementations exploring strip separation, density mapping, and controlled palette behaviour. Built as a repeatable study tool rather than a one-click look.

SMT 400 Scope

SMT 400 documents applied builds and production studies. Systems and implementation patterns live in SMT 200 — Systems. Analytical deep dives live in SMT 300 — Research.
