Feel free to discuss both articles (or any of the other ones) in this thread. Knowing what people - even people who don't back me - want to see will help me when planning out future articles.

It's that time of month again. The latest paid article is a about menu arguments in 7.2.

PyTom, even though I'm a Patreon supporter, I still very much appreciate these posts!

They're certainly appreciated.

Thanks for your greats tips and tutorial, want to ask, is there a way to add matrixcolor HueMatrix(hue) to livecomposite code?

Yes. Livecomposite takes a transform that's applied to result, and that transform can include a matrixcolor as part of it.

Cool!
This will make my life 4 time easier ( Won't need to create 4 different colors for 10+- hairstyle)
(Or 40 times easier depending on who you ask)
