![]() ![]() With all that said, let’s explain the steps you need to take in order to setup your personal pipeline for a linear workflow. Working this way will insure that the math adds up correctly. Then, when you output the renders, they’ll need to be corrected to appear as expected on your monitor. ![]() When a bitmap created as an sRGB image enters the pipeline, it needs to be inverse gamma corrected to work properly. If you’re working in a linear pipeline, you’ll need to correct certain types of images so that they output the correct result. Viewer – the linear images will appear dark unless viewed using an sRGB LUT (Look Up Table).Īnother way to look at it, is as a series of curves applied to different inputs and outputs. Output – renders should be saved as floating point linear images. Calculations – once everything is linear, you can begin shading and lighting. Input – all inputs should either already be linear or gamma corrected to be linear. The diagram below outlines the basic flow of a linear pipeline. So for this reason, PixelSquid content must be created in a linear workflow. Each render layer or element, contributes to the final image. This is exactly what a PixelSquid product offers the end user, tremendous flexibility. It’s much easier to adjust the level of an objects reflectivity or change the base color of a single model part in Photoshop, instead of fine tuning and re-rendering from 3D. Linear workflow has become an industry standard that most studios have adopted because of the power and flexibility it affords them. ![]()
