The full chain is a filter, a lens, a film look and a check at the end. Bought one at a time, that's four purchases, four installers and $102.
With M3 Coloring Tools
One installer puts all four under Monolith 3 in the OpenFX panel. They're the same builds the single installers carry. Update any one on its own later.
How does M3 Coloring Tools work?
- 01
Install the package
Quit Resolve and run the Mac or Windows installer. Open Resolve and find all four in the OpenFX panel under Monolith 3.
- 02
Chain them in order
M3 Diffusion first, then M3 Glass, then M3-Film with its lens section off.

Check on the last node
M3 Balance goes on your last node. Turn it off before you render.

Use only what the shot needs
Each is its own node. A quick grade can use one.

The installer won't open. What do I do?
It isn't signed, so macOS may block it the first time. Open System Settings, then Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway, then open the installer again. On macOS 15 and later, right-click and Open no longer works. On Windows, click More info on the warning, then Run anyway.
