OK I've set up a simple little scene. A wall, Simon with shirt and a ball.

There is a very low IBL for general ambience, and a single infinite light with depth-mapped shadows. The infinite light is at 60% intensity. The IBL is the HDRVFX_Office image at 12% intensity.

Normally we'd use much higher settings for these, but that's because we're trying to compensate for gamma. We won't be doing that any more. We'll be using more realistic light levels.

In the material room, we're showing the basic plastic ball material. We're going to convert this to a gamma correcting material step by step.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
