rendering questions - linear workflow MR

[shadow_ex_]

hello,i've been trying to use linear workflow to render
but something went wrong in the process it seems

the idea is that i should get a nice looking image in the end without
having to use photoshop right?

i render some washed out colors it seems
from what i read thats probably double corrected textures
or i missed something


in that case i don't know how to fix it :\

thanks in progress^^

Your settings are fine but you forgot one thing: make sure the textures are set properly as well - they most likely arent

Open your browser - change to Image view and select (under Clips) all images and enter their property all at ones. Change Color Profile to Automatic. That should do the trick.

just as i though,i read that i should check if the images are in the correct color space
but please please help me locate it?
i know its a bit dumb but im searching on how to do that for a couple of hours

really thanks a lot for helping out

btw
the attachemnt might not be the correct place to find it

also the material (car paint) is washed out
but thats a procedural one there is no texture yet
is that normal?


edit : i found it thakns for helping again ^^

I tend to keep my profile space in Linear instead of Automatic. I just do this so I know for sure that the images are being used correctly. Then all I have to do for the diffuse texture is go into the PPG under Adjust, for that image, and change it to sRGB, and I think most everything else stays linear. (I saw in your edit that you found it, but I just posted it here, on where to find it, incase someone else was looking for it as well.)

Also, for the last part of your question goto:

File > Preferences > Display > Color Mangament (The TAB on the upper right)

If you check those four options to "on" it will set Linear Workflow for Softimage throughout. You will now notice a dotted box around your color swatches. That indicates that you are using LW (Linear Workflow) for those colors. Now you just have to readjust your colors to work porperly in that Linear Color space.

Thanks a lot Rez007 & Rob ^^
great work there

i bumped into those while i was searching
very usefull information


the problem was that the pictures of the project was already present
so i had to change the colorspace manually and i couldnt find the right tab to do so

eventually i did

thanks everyone for the support ^^

i can predict the next questions will be about materials(mia material)
and some rendertree stuff^^

but so far so good
