Can we do this in UE4?

Christian Cunningham

Just watched this video and was wondering if we could implement this for ue4, does ue4 even use sRGB for rendering? Here is the video

UE4 already uses HDR by default, and clamps it down to LDR using (mostly) the post processing settings. You can view the histogram by using VisualizeHDR. Also 4.15 added a filmic tonemapper that mimics the desaturation in film talked about at 22:10.

To add something to what Zac said, many tonemapper algohrythms are available on the internet and you can implement them in the material editor as a post process, if you are not satisfied with the built in one for some reason.
