Title: C4D HDRI workflow
Post by: jamieirvin on 2018-01-04, 15:07:27

Hi guys, quick question... when using HDR lighting, do you set the colour profile of the HDR bitmap so sRGB (as with vray) or do you leave as 'embedded (default)" ? I get very different results and can't decide which is right. 

I am relatively new to Corona and I want to get this it nailed before I get too far down the road. 

Cheers

Jamie

set as default or linear, as your HDRI are in linear colour space.

The default should give the best result as long as you have a good HDRI, with some HDR textures you have to tweak the gamme
so you can switch to custom then.

I made a hadny rig for this in my tool set you can checkout, it uses a filter to tweak the gamma https://gumroad.com/josefbsharah
