#NTSC Legal Palette
Is anyone out there doing broadcast stuff with 3DS? I'm having a problem
my broadcast spots and my color palette. I don't have a Waveform Monitor/
Vectorscope and my background is computers and not broadcast engineering,
but my problem the best I can explain it is this:
My animation colors look beautiful when I lay them to tape, but apparently
the saturation of the colors is too high to be NTSC legal. Consequently,
the TV stations have to dial down the saturation to 75% and the result is a
muddy looking animation on the air. The broadcast professionals I've
talked with tell me to adjust my palette so that colors have only 75%
saturation and that should be safe. My problem is that 3DS seems to bump
the diffuse and specular saturation to 100% even if I lower the saturation
in the Mat. Editor. Does anyone know how I can create and broadcast legal
palette with 3DS?
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. -Mark
