Including colours you create with nodes? Sorry to keep pressing the point, but this is still a burning question... say I make the following node:
baseTone = IColor(244, 244, 255)
setComplexion = Spots(
Base_Color = baseTone,
Spot_Color = ltBeige * baseTone,
Spot_Size = .1,
Softness = .35,
Threshold = .7,
Noise_Type = 2).labelled("Complexion")would this still need to be run through GC?
BTW, this isn't really anything I'm using... just an example... it's bogus, really...
If the way you arrived at the RGB value was you picked it from a color picker, then yes, it needs to be anti-GC'd.
However, I happen to know this excerpt from your shader and these are not colors we picked based on how they look. They are tints which you use to multiply with the incoming colors, which is a very different thing. We're not looking at these colors, we're using them as ratios. You do not need to gamma correct or anti-correct ratios.
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)
