If you export the renders (as EXR and JPG – just for the fun of it), and load them into Nuke, comparing the values, all should remain consistent. The colors of the chart were described by McCamy et al. with colorimetric measurements using the CIE 1931 2° standard observer and Illuminant C, and also in terms of the Munsell color system. Using measured reflectance spectra, it is possible to derive CIELAB coordinates for Illuminants D 65 and D 50 and coordinates in sRGB ( D 65). [5] Table from Field (1990); CIE data for Illuminant C from Poynton (2008). [4] [6] Index And then if you are doing and surfacing work (texture, groom, look dev), then definitely yes. I want to know what the environment is like that you’ve been creating these shaders in and what the lighting is like in your additional lighting environments. So, in a nutshell, if you are not matching directly to reference, then present your model within a nicely lit environment. With or without the reference – up to you. I personally would go ‘with’ as it allows the reviewer to get a sense of the lighting used in the scene.

This concept of limiting the range of textures values can generate quite some debate. But I think it is useful to take these decisions keeping in mind these notions. And we’ll finish with Thomas’ quote : Macduff’s wife. The scene in her castle provides our only glimpse of a domestic realm other than that of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. She and her home serve as contrasts to Lady Macbeth and the hellish world of Inverness. DonalbainWhat you need to change is the lighting. Our shaders for the spheres should stay consistent. And now we can see our balls! Great. But now you might say: However, due to a number of factors, it SHOULD NOT be used for colour-correction. For more information on using the colour chart, I highly recommend you read the following by Thomas Mansencal:

Well, everything is contextual, anchoring your values in the real world, as a starting point, is often the key to greater quality, this is to a degree the basis of PBR. Keep in mind that Pointer’s Gamut is about reflectance only […]. It is about Digital Asset authoring, specifically Look Development of shaders and textures where more often than never, one needs to strive for physical accuracy. […] This is not about image quality but physical correctness. Like any tools, it must be used with understanding. PBR validation tools […] arguably help improving Lookdev consistency and overall image quality. Fluorescence is actually considered emission. So it is not limited like a non-emissive surface would be. Fluorescence is simply a re-emission at a different wavelength. We even talk about Optical Brightener in laundry. I love when all the dots start to connect like this. Existing solutionsAfter reading Chapter 1 (about Color Management) and Chapter 1.5 (about ACES), you may ask yourself : where do I start ? How do I set correctly all these values ? Sometimes we struggle to balance correctly the look development of our assets between texturing, lighting or grading. For example, how strong should be our lights in a turntable ? Or how bright and saturated should our textures be ? Banquo’s son, who survives Macbeth’s attempt to murder him. At the end of the play, Fleance’s whereabouts are unknown. Presumably, he may come to rule Scotland, fulfilling the witches’ prophecy that Banquo’s sons will sit on the Scottish throne. Lennox This is because in Maya and Nuke, we are using the ACES 1.0 SDR-video (sRGB) View Transform. But if you flip this to Un-tone-mapped (sRGB), you should be good to go. Macbeth’s wife, a deeply ambitious woman who lusts for power and position. Early in the play, she seems to be the stronger and more ruthless of the two, as she urges her husband to kill Duncan and seize the crown. After the bloodshed begins, however, Lady Macbeth falls victim to guilt and madness to an even greater degree than her husband. Her conscience affects her to such an extent that she eventually commits suicide. Interestingly, she and Macbeth are presented as being deeply in love, and many of Lady Macbeth’s speeches imply that her influence over her husband is primarily sexual. Their joint alienation from the world, occasioned by their partnership in crime, seems to strengthen the attachment that they feel to each another. The colors all fall along, or near, their vectors. Not all colors are perfect in hue yet–red, yellow and green could use a little finessing–but it took me very little time to get this far in the process. Every color on that chart either falls into a box or–in the case of flesh tone–along the +I line between red and yellow. Further tweaking that puts the colors on their vectors will result in a neutral and color-accurate image for dailies.
