Gamma1

How would I know if my LCD was calibrated to gamma 1? I assumed all were. I use Spider Pro, but at no point does it tell me.

HU?
I use the greatg eye one display so i don’t know the spyder but don’t you have to tell it to what gamma you want your monitor calibrated at???

Calibration

Good question. I’ll have to recalibrate.

Here are some tests.

gamma 2.2 looks correct to me

So if you recalibrate your monitor then i would suggest to make it act like a crt monitor meanind calibrate it to 2.2 gamma. This might not be easy but i think that is the prefered option.

Gamma

Yep 2.2 looks good here to, but it is the same as gamma 1 sRGB save as an EXR.

Yes of course.
If you save it to float you don’t have to do anything but if you save it to 8 bit then ou have to outputit to gamma 2.2

Exposure

Ok. I have the front of my building looking good, but a little flat. I’ll do some PS to get some pop. My question is I am rendering the back and the back is all in shade. Should I leave my v-ray camera settings the same and do a shadow/highlight in PS or should I re-expose my camera?

if it is the same camera i would create another one and rexpose

Exposure

it is a different camera. How would you handle an animation?

i think it is possible to animate the exposure stuff on a vray cam…or you can rnder your animation with the different cams you have with different exposures and combine them all afterwards
