Re: We need to talk about some of our art terminoligy.
Who is your audience? And shouldn't all light be calculated the same, if we ignore programming shortcuts? So isn't it much more intuitive to say that direct light is more flat because the angle of the light stays the same over the surface and not get into shading algorithms at all? Maybe provide examples how this applies,… -
Re: We need to talk about some of our art terminoligy.
Thanks a lot! For the first example I understand now what you wanted to say. For the second I still don't see the connection. "As light colour changes the value of coloured objects also must change." That seems pretty intuitive. "This makes no sense unless you learn about channels." Why? (Ignore me, if you think this is… -
Re: We need to talk about some of our art terminoligy.
Nope the color names are silly. You're only very roughly describing the color space you're looking at and not all traditional mediums use only 4 colours as primaries. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexachrome with CMYKOG as the primaries. But to be truly accurate you should use CIELAB:… -
Re: We need to talk about some of our art terminoligy.
I'm not trying to make a tutorial here but i'll show you why each is important. 3d renderers work with HDR RGB. Meaning they do calculate a wider gamut than Adobe RGB can manage, but regardless they do all their math based on channel calculations, so no it isn't a programming shortcut. Now for why the shading algorithm is… -
Re: We need to talk about some of our art terminoligy.
I lold at http://realcolorwheel.com/ Was this site createdwhen color theory first came up ? :P What I personally find very important is splitting up colors in their warm and cold shades. The difference between warm and cold of each primary or secondary color is very important and is specific enough to get a decent… -
Re: We need to talk about some of our art terminoligy.
Two things: 1. As someone who has been doing a lot with color maths recently: There's no correct, only maths and pretty, and artists won't care for the maths unless it will give pretty. Proof them pretty, make them care. You now sound like a used-car salesman. 2. LAB is a colorspace based on the opposite-signals theory.… -
Re: We need to talk about some of our art terminoligy.
Isn't that already the case? I know you said you didn't want to give examples in order not to shame anyone, but right now I'm not entirely convinced there is really a problem, here. Just to be clear: It certainly happens that they are taught together or in close succession but for me that doesn't mean they aren't seen and… -
We need to talk about some of our art terminoligy.
Hi everyone! In my years as learning how to be an artist I've gotten really frustrated about how colour and light theory is taught. There is a ton of misinformation, contradictions, false correlations and outright disasters being taught. I don't want to call out the dumb stuff here but one thing that i have realized over… -
Re: We need to talk about some of our art terminoligy.
Haha i actually have Briggsy on my facebook and i sometimes talk to him about colour stuff. Hue value chroma is the only source i can actually point people to without fear of it being incorrect. It's quite frankly awesome in the depth that briggsy has gone into, but he does have a serious problem of verbose writing and…
