The look of the function is documented and it blows my mind. I want to know what they smoked. You simply cannot find such beasts in nature short of quantum mechanics. I simply cannot trust that it was optimized rationally by looking at the rendering results, because optimizing in 8-dimensional space is not for humans and their eyes. My head explodes when I look at this function and I have this feeling in my mouth. I am scared and I cannot dare to touch it. God bless those who want to tune it.
Could you implement your curve in the context of af_loader_compute_darkening() and send it to me? Because my brain currently doesn't grok the math behind character and device-pixel space conversion ;D Then we can compare and see what's better :)
