Thats the look you will usually get compared to a wrong set up with linear workflow, the picture generally look a bit more washed out, but when your start working with composting operations in your shader tree you will get the correct calculations, especialy with multiply nodes between textures and simmilar. The rest is down to the lighting, or you could plug in a redshift photographic exposure node and tone map your image the way you like it, or do it in composite.
Check out the rs documentation, theres plenty of stuff in there, also check that your render region is using the same settings as your global scene settings, it could be that its different and it didnt pick up on the correct color inputs tab. http://docs.redshift3d.com/Default.html#I/Gamma.html On Thu, Jun 18, 2015 at 9:54 PM, Kris Rivel <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Ognjen.
