Professionally manage and adjust your colors, lighting, and composition

This addon brings real-time scopes to Blender, featuring a histogram and vectorscope. And of course, it recognizes your composition node tree!

Live Histogram

The histogram comes with several display settings you have already seen on the default blender histogram in the image editor. You can choose between RGB & Luma channels as well as the zooming into the histogram.

Live Vectorscope

The vector scope displays the hue and saturation of the viewport. In real-time!

Read the viewport colors directly in the image editor

Yes, you read the right. Alternatively, you can decide to draw the viewport color data directly into an image texture and use it in real-time inside the image editor. So you can use Blender's native scopes, including the waveform and all the other settings! In real-time!

Manage your scopes with the overlay editor

By entering the overlay position overlay mode you can easily position and toggle your scopes in your viewport, making it incredibly easy to use.

Real-time performance and live updates

Even on lower-end machines the scopes are performing in real-time!

Known Issues:

• Viewport Scopes will not differentiate between different color transformations yet!
• Due to API limitations, Viewport Scopes is recommended for Eevee or Cycles only!
• While the realtime scopes are running and you are trying to load a different blend file, it will break it due to a Blender internal bug in how it handles modal operators!
