Re: Color explained

Does anybody have any literature a client can read on color? Something not to techie. I have the hardest time explaining to people why that little paint chip that they are holding up to the rendering doesn't match 100%. I explain the whole shopping for carpet and how it'll look different in you living room then in the showroom. Or I use the put a red carpet in a glossy white room and your walls will look pink. Then I usually get people wanting renderings without any color variances.... what to do?

lI had the same problem but I'm using overridemat now with a gray color for GI calculation and it works great!!

if you want to save images as TIF or JPG the output gamma should also be set to 2.2 right?

I had this problem on the last project I worked with, I was using the output gamma at 2.2 to burn in the gamma. It worked, but caused problems as soon as I wanted to use render elements as they were not saved with the gamma applied.

The solution is to set Gamma to 2.2 in the V-Ray color mapping and to use the V-Ray Frame Buffer. We made the switch and everything's happy as it was when we had the Output Gamma set to 2.2.
