Presentation 1: Linear work flow is a mysterious term used in the discussion of physically based rendering, and can be a difficult topic to understand and implement. Lon Grohs and Carlos Cristena will work through the implementation of LWF at Neoscape for both Vray and Mental ray and discuss various pitfalls and benefits of the strategy. Some of the topics include Gamma settings (2.2, 1.8, 1.0), OpenEXR files, HDRI files and loaders, physically based materials, lighting and cameras.
