Unusual colors?

[papatel85]

When i render my scene, there seems to be something that I pressed that I am now seeing unusual neon colors as if the exposure was too high or something. It was rendering fine before, and I checked my settings and they are the same. Is there something I could have accidentally pressed?

Can you post a screenshot?

Re: Unusual colors?

No need for the screenshot...what you've done is unchecked the Clamp Colors option at the bottom left corner of the frame buffer. I know its not the first button...I think its the second or third.

Normally, we want colors that are brighter than white to appear as white, but that button toggles into a different display. That display just allows the colors to "loop" around, so instead of a value of 1.5 (in float) appearing as white, it would appear in the framebuffer as .5 gray. This can result is some very weird colors.
