Christian - have you used shake yet?

the advantages of using dmx to do any of this very quickly evaporate.

i really dont want to end up with hundreds of channels to do things that are better done in another application.

i mean i really like the shake or maya shader networks. they remove the obstacles of linear networks of filter, but are unrepresentable and unusable in this application space.

the learning curve on these programs is just mind boggling.

i did a number of these modes - like darken subtract and add in the colour fx, but some of these filters require additional parameters.
