It kind of grew into more of a exercise in discipline as it took more time to finish than I thought but in the end it has also helped me learn how to render in a linear fashion.  I&#8217;ve setup a colour correction workflow to help adjust the gamma of my renders to make the final image closer to the texture colours I create with bodypaint or Photoshop.<\/p>\n<p>Following a tutorial I found I now have a colour correction pass with a gamma of 2.2 and place all materials inside a filter with gamma set to 0.455.  The final image doesn&#8217;t need colour correction and the lark\/light areas of the render are more balanced.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/lh4.ggpht.com\/_kA_mXFi6V1Q\/TPLXoizDqpI\/AAAAAAAAAx4\/LIdAVwW4oRA\/s800\/crates.jpg\" alt=\"crates\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started texturing a cube a while back as a test of what I could&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[307,28],"tags":[320],"class_list":["post-799","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-3d","category-cinema-4d","tag-bodypaint"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
