Unity颜色曲线ColorCurves
ChannelMixer是Unity URP后处理系统中用于颜色通道混合的核心效果组件，主要用于调整RGB通道的混合比例以实现特定的色彩分级效果。其发展历史可追溯至影视行业的传统调色技术，后被整合到Unity的Post Processing Stack中，并随着URP的演进成为Volume框架下的标准化模块
核心功能与参数
通道混合原理
通过修改输入颜色通道（Red/Green/Blue）对输出通道的贡献权重，实现如单色保留、色调偏移等效果。例如增加绿色通道对红色输出的影响会使绿色区域偏红。
ChannelMixer在Unity URP后处理中的底层原理基于颜色通道的线性代数变换，通过对RGB通道的权重矩阵运算实现色彩重构.
输出通道 = (R × R权重) + (G × G权重) + (B × B权重) + 常数偏移
该计算在片元着色器中逐像素执行，通过矩阵乘法实现颜色空间转换.
数学原理分解
- 通道变换矩阵
- 每个输出通道由3×4变换矩阵控制（包含常数项），例如红色输出通道计算为：
- $R_{out}=R_{in}\times M_{00}+G_{in}\times M_{01}+B_{in}\times M_{02}+M_{03}$
- 其中M_03为常数偏移量。
- 亮度保持机制
- 当启用Preserve Luminosity时，系统会自动归一化权重系数，确保满足：
- $M_{00}+M_{01}+M_{02}=1.0$
- 防止画面过曝或欠曝

矩阵运算阶段
片元着色器通过
dot(col.rgb, _RedOut.xyz)实现向量点乘，等效于矩阵乘法。例如设置_RedOut=(0.5,0.3,0.2)时，新红色通道值为原RGB通道的50%+30%+20%混合。动态参数传递
URP通过Volume组件将参数打包为Vector4（xyz为RGB权重，w为常数偏移），每帧更新至Shader。例如电影级调色常用配置：
csharp_RedOut = new Vector4(0.8f, 0.1f, 0.1f, 0);// 强化红色主基调_GreenOut = new Vector4(0f, 1.2f, -0.2f, 0);// 增强绿色并抑制蓝色后处理管线集成

参数说明
- Output Channel：选择要调整的目标通道（Red/Green/Blue）
- Red/Green/Blue Contribution：各输入通道对当前输出通道的影响权重（范围-2到2）
- Preserve Luminosity：保持整体亮度不变，避免过度曝光。

实际应用案例
电影感调色
将蓝色通道注入红色输出（如设置RedOut为(0.8, 0, 0.2)），可创造类似《黑客帝国》的青色阴影效果。
风格化渲染
通过反转绿色通道贡献（GreenOut设为(-0.5, 1, 0)），实现赛博朋克风格的色彩偏移。
黑白滤镜
统一各通道权重（如RedOut=(0.3,0.6,0.1)）可生成高质量灰度图像，比直接去饱和度更可控。
胶片模拟
- 设置
BlueOut=(0,0,0.9,0.1)使蓝色通道轻微压缩，模拟柯达胶片特性
色盲辅助
- 将红色通道注入绿色输出（
GreenOut=(0.5,0.5,0,0)）提升红绿色盲辨识度
风格化渲染
- 负值权重创造互补色效果，如
RedOut=(1, -0.2, 0, 0)产生赛博朋克色调
操作步骤
- 在Volume中添加Channel Mixer效果
- 调整目标通道的RGB权重三角滑块
- 启用Preserve Luminosity避免过曝
该技术现已成为URP标准管线的一部分，通过Volume系统实现非破坏性调整，比传统Shader方案更易集成到美术工作流中
