Post-Processing
Post-processing filters an image to produce a certain look or effect. Patchwork 3D has a powerful 2D post-processing tool for creating, combining and inventing spectacular rendering effects. Because Patchwork 3D's post-processing is real-time, you can continue navigating in the viewport; the filter will remain in place and navigation will still be fluid.
Post-processing is managed in the Matter sidebar's post-processing library.
Enabling Post-Processing
Applied post-processing is displayed by default. This setting can be disabled and re-enabled using the button in the toolbar at the top of the Matter module.
: Enable or disable the display of 2D post-processing blends.
