UDK/Photoshop Color Settings...

IchII3D · Jan 2014

I have been doing some texturing in UDK recently and noticed my white isn't as bright as I was expecting, but its difficult to tell with lighting values etc... I know I have changed these settings previously as I needed to fix an issue with CryEngine. With that in mind I was wondering if anyone knew what color settings I should be using in Photoshop to achieve accurate conversion to UDK?

I'm currently using...

sRGB 2.1
U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
Dot Gain 20%
Dot Gain 20%

Thanks.

I gave up trying to get the same colour in UDK as it was in ps. Lighting/shadows/fog and compression just mess too much with the original colour and I just use look up tables to adjust the scene/environment. It helps to keep your colours as neutral as you can. That's my five cents :poly121:

Thanks for sharing, I think I will just go with the flow. Its really not to far off and it was more out of curiosity.

On the subject of colour grading though, I would highly recommend not changing contrast and brightness in colour grading. That's something which really should be done in the HDR renderer to avoid any compression and banding issues. Assuming that is the engine supports that level of control. I'm assuming UDK does?
