#Gamma?
Hi John. I've got a question, and a problem. I've created a
walkthrough, where the first part is very dark and the lights come up
as the camera moves through an office. The problem is that the
rendered images are very light and low contrast in the framebuffer
during the dark part. And I've got all lights except four set at
zero. The four lights are tight spots, and there are no stray
lights. When I view the image on my computer RGB monitor they look
very dark and contrasty, as I would like. But on NTSC they look
washed out and sh8tty.
I've got the Targa+ initiated with Tmode 11 only, so I would guess
there is no Gamma correction happening there. I pass through a VTR,
but I tried a direct connect between the Targa and my monitor (not a
real monitor, by the way, just a Mitsubishi TV with video in) and it
makes no difference, so I guess it's not affecting gamma. I've got
Framebuffer gamma set at 1.8, but it looks better in this case, the
lower I go. I'm going to pop the frames on an Abekas asap and see
what it looks like there, but I'd like to be able to fix my in house
setup so it looks better. Any ideas?
Thanks,
