So we've seen how tiny differences in a color can be detected. We've also seen how we can detect hypo colors - colors that have a component that is less than 0. (Average it with white)
How would you detect a hyper color - a color with a component greater than 1?
(Remember you cannot directly "see" hyper colors - 1 is the brightest your monitor will go.)
There are many ways - I'll wait for any of you to figure one out.
Show me with math, and with nodes.
To produce a hyper color, just add white to any ordinary color that isn't black. For example WHITE [1, 1, 1] + RED [1, 0, 0] = [2, 1, 1]
How would you easily see that is not WHITE? I mean really easily. Like you don't even need any extra nodes once you have the color made with a Color_Math:Add(WHITE, RED).
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)
