HDR & Fog Presets
These presets are controlled by relays. The func_instance_io_proxy has an output for each relay. Each relay has its own corresponding env_fog_controller, and also sends outputs to "@tonemapper".
There are color_correction and postprocess_controller entities corresponding to each preset, though these do not appear to be used by the relays.
Each color_correction is named after its corresponding preset, with the suffix "_colourcorrection". (e.g. "environment_testchamber_colourcorrection")
Each postprocess_controller is named after its corresponding preset, with the suffix "_postfx". (e.g. "environment_testchamber_postfx")
