Quote - KISS never failed.
IDL took over what we had to simulate before.
Drop all simulations, and live happy ever after.

Just for PoserPro and GC?

All textures for bump, displacement, transparancy's etc, have to get their gamma set at 1..

Black is not black any more at Gamma2.2
All gray values change.. So...

PS all colors change.

Are you being funny here or ... ??? The gamma function is power. 0 to any power is still 0. Black is RGB 0, 0, 0. It should be obvious then that black at any gamma is still black. The statement "Black is not black any more at Gamma 2.2" is incorrect. The opposite is true. Also, for the same reason, white is still white at any gamma. The number 1 raised to any power is 1. White is RGB 1, 1, 1. Therefore white is not altered by gamma. Any color where all three RGB components are 0 or 1 is also a color that is unchanged by gamma. These are red 1, 0, 0 green 0, 1, 0 blue 0, 0, 1 yellow 1, 1, 0 magenta 1, 0, 1 cyan 0, 1, 1 Any shade of gray (all RGB components are equal) remains a shade of gray, but its luminance is altered.


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)
