Greetings - New Vue Pro Studio 6 user here.

I'm coming from a background in Max/Vray where the current trend is to use a "linear work flow". There are some very serious advantages to this method  - it produces much more realistic images and light is more even and easier to control in the scene. It applies to radiosity or global illumination render types.

The basic premise is that you set your program (Max, LW, Maya...) to display and render using Gamma 2.2 (as opposed to the regular 1.0 or 1.8) This, as you can imagine, makes the images much brighter and light travels further in the scene. The other component is that your textures/image maps have to be gamma adjusted coming into the scene so they don't look washed out.

My question: is this workflow able to be reproduced in Vue Infinite or Xstream?

I am not referring to the post processing gamma adjustment - that's kind of like painting in a dark room and then turning on the light right at the end.

Is there a way internally to work and render in Gamma 2.2 in Vue.

Thanks for any input!!!

Hello from the Aluetians - specifically from a ship at sea via "iffy" satellite connection.

The short answer is that there is an "equivalent", but not as simple as the gamma curve/color tone adjustments in MAX/Vray.

There are light and color tone controls in the Vue Atmosphere Editor designed to allow the same possibilities. For a full explanation of these controls and how to use them effectively, your best bet is to purchase the Vue InteriorPak product by Chipp Walters. Thiis would be  a good investment prior to purchasing Vue Infinite or Xstream, so that you can determine if mastering these controls is something you wish to learn to do.

Thanks for that info - I will check InteriorPak out.

Or ask Chipp directly...he knows everything about this damn program
