linear workflow checkbox and VRayLightDome textures

Hi,

I’m a user (or rather abuser :slight_smile: ) of the Linear Workflow checkbox.

However I have one question, I can generally see where I need to override V-Ray’s choices, but what happens when a HDRI is loaded into the V-Ray Light Dome’s texture slot?

Should I set the exr/hdr gamma override to linear, 1 or 2.2?

Hi,

Note that it depends mostly of your workflow, but in most cases you should keep the Gamma HDR to 1.0
Just keep in mind that the “Linear Workflow” checkbox will not affect the HDR image, so if you set Color mapping\Gamma to “2.2” and check the “Linear Workflow” option you will see the HDR image in Gamma 2.2 color space.

Thanks Tashko, some HDR’s through testing I couldn’t could a clear definition/result.

Thanks for explaining it.
