Re: Linear space tools for photoshop?
My understanding is that this is indeed the case for our color maps. They are saved in SRGB, and converted to linear space during the GFX pipeline, and that is ok because it's a fairly slight shift and it shouldn't matter much. But it does matter more when that shift is not with color/perceptual data, but with values that… -
Proper linear workflow
So I still don't get it... For my understanding ( to be able to properly work in a linear manner) I should be able to: - set each bitmap I load to be handled linear or gamma. I don't find such a setting except the turn-to... nodes. should I use them? - when using a node for the 3d view I should be able to tell the shader… -
Re: Converting sRGB to linear color space in Photoshop?
will also add that linearizing sRGB textures in Photoshop will reduce the quality of your textures! It's all around a bad idea. Not necessarily true. Rather, you need absolutely 16bit minimum to have no visible banding and data-loss for linear sRGB. For the OP. It could be worth it to take a linear icc profile(Elle Stone… -
Wtf is up with linear falloff?!?!?!
Come on guys?!? Stop using linear fall off with spot an point lights. Have u ever seen a linear falloff in real life. Sorry... Sorry. It just pisses me off to no end to see a production game with all the lights with linear falloff -
Re: PBR material reflectance / IOR / fresnel database? + question about sRGB and Linear interpretations
sRGB is good for albedo because it's a more "artistic color range" Linear for roughness, metallic, height, normal and ambient occlusion should be linear because linear color space is more interested in preserving "data" and giving each color value equal space and weight. Something sRGB does not do. Linear color is just… -
Re: Toolbag auto convert input maps to Linear ?
Certain maps will load as linear by default, like normal maps (which are always linear), and gloss/roughness maps (which are usually linear), while others like diffuse or specular maps will default to sRGB. What you're seeing in Toolbag is what the map looks like in linear space, it is not being gamma corrected. The map in… -
Re: Gamma... Linear.. WTF?! RAGE
As far as UE4 goes, and the other programs that game artists generally use, you shouldn't have to worry about working in any particular color space. Stick to your current one, which should be sRGB. Let the renderer do the conversions for you. One issue you'll come across with UE4 and color spaces is the fact that UE4(and… -
Free PDF: Linear Workflow- The Whole Shebang
Hi everyone, I have seen quite a lot of confusion surrounding Linear Workflow and 3ds Max. This is understandable, as there are many guides online, some with conflicting information. Another confusing stage is how to composite these renders correctly. This is why I have written this guide. I hope it will explain everything… -
Re: Gamma or Linear color space for diffuse-only game ?
When people talk about working in Linear Space, it means all inputs (sRGB or linear) are converted to linear, then all your blending and lighting functions are calculated in Linear, then the final output is converted to Gamma Space for display. -
Substance Designer: Linear vs SRGB output?
I came across some threads in the Allegorithmic forum that seem to imply that all maps except the diffuse/base are converted into linear. Was this only for the 3D previewer in Substance alone? I attempted to change the output nodes to different types (say base versus roughness), and they still exported out the same way. So…
