I agree. As a VFX Artist/Supervisor and once in a while Colorist, I find the tech grade to be very helpful. If the timeline allows for showing also what the final grade will look like, great. I often find that not to be the case.
It doesn’t mean that VFX Artists shouldn’t check their work. However. There’s so much we can do in Grading that is non-physical, which would mean a lot of additional work to try to match with very different tools.
