hi all-
here's some stuff i responded to believable about in another thread!:
might be useful
hey b--
agree. personally, i LOVE gamma correction in poser pro.....use it sometimes to get that very flat washed out look that i like.
however, there is the side of me releasing these lights to the wild hordes out there. the ONLY reason it says 'no gamma' is to make things predicatable for the new user. what i really mean is "if you want things to look just like the preset icons"--then please turn gamma off.
since you have a good grasp of what GC does--and understand how to control its effects--please do feel free to experiment with it ON.
caution: all of the proluma2 presets are set so that gamma on the HDR is affected by the output gamma in render settings. to get correct results (hard for me to predict)--you may have to adjust the input gamma on the HDRs separately. I'm guessing that you would set it up so that input gamma is still flat (1 i think)--this way you will get the same lighting quality from the preset, but the OUTPUT gamma is shifted.
lemme know what ya come up with--would be neat to see it. and BB, as the expert there, your feedback totally welcome on this one!
just wanted to be sure the product didn't appear broken on 1st use. i guess "start with GC off until you know what you are doing" might have been a better phrase. thanks for this good catch--will update docs for next round of the product.
