Take note of the conversation between Lady Macbeth and Macbeth at the end of Act 3 Scene 4. This is their last conversation together. How does it differ from their first scene? What do you think happens to Lady Macbeth after this point? How are their roles different? However, you just need to be aware of this and tweak your digital Grey shader to compensate. Or if you have the time and resources, shoot your look dev reference kit under polarised and cross polarised light to capture the surface colour more accurately.

A group of ruffians conscripted by Macbeth to murder Banquo, Fleance (whom they fail to kill), and Macduff’s wife and children. Porter But how else do you expect it to look? You are using a HDRI that was taken in Regents Park. A Park covered in green grass. Go and take a grey ball and a white ball, and stand in Regents Park with them. Guess what, light bounces around.

True-to-life image color reproduction.

One thing I would recommend not doing is: setting up your lighting for your asset, randomly positioning your balls somewhere else, and then adding additional light to make them look ‘evenly’ lit. That kind of defeats their purpose, which is to visually illustrate how things look within the lighting setup where the asset is. Setting: 11th century Scotland Mood: suspicious, sinister, foreboding, , Characters: three witches, Macbeth, Banquo, King Duncan, Lady Macbeth Characterization: Genre: tragedy, classic, drama

Play Act 2 Scene 2

Because he knows the witches' prophecy, Banquo is suspicious of Macbeth. And because of the prophecy that Banquo's line will reign as kings, Macbeth sees Banquo as a threat. Macbeth gives a feast, inviting many thanes, including Banquo. Macbeth hires two murderers to kill Banquo and his son Fleance as they ride to attend the feast. The men kill Banquo, but Fleance escapes. At the feast, Macbeth sees Banquo's ghost, though no one else does. Macbeth's behavior and the death of Banquo make all the thanes suspicious. They begin to think of Macbeth as a tyrant. Macduff refuses to appear at the royal court at all, and goes to England to support Malcolm in his effort to raise an army against Macbeth. But ideally, our v001 published ‘look’ and ‘light rigs’ have been calibrated. Whether that be for VFX, full CG or games. From that point onwards, you can be as creative as you need to be. So, in a nutshell, if you are not matching directly to reference, then present your model within a nicely lit environment. With or without the reference – up to you. I personally would go ‘with’ as it allows the reviewer to get a sense of the lighting used in the scene. You can see from the result that the spheres are very dark but the Macbeth is constant (due to the shader applied). We’ll fix the Macbeth shader but DO NOT change the sphere shaders. We have set them to be correctly calibrated. You can access the table in tab-separated-value (tsv) format (1414bytes). If you import this file to Excel (v.X, at least), it will silently take the Munsell hue "5P" of purple and replace it with 5:00PM or 17:00:00 or some such (!), and it will silently delete trailing zeros in numeric quantities.

The chart’s color patches have spectral reflectances intended to mimic those of natural objects such as human skin, foliage, and flowers, to have consistent color appearance under a variety of lighting conditions, especially as detected by typical color photographic film, and to be stable over time.The targets provide a non-subjective standard of comparison to help determine the true colour balance of any colour rendition system. It provides the needed standard for comparing, measuring and analyzing differences in colour reproduction in various processes-avoiding costly mistakes. Features Let’s take charcoal as an example. Charcoal not being a pure lambertian surface, you will get some “specular” reflection at grazing angles. For artistic control in CG, we generally split diffuse and specular reflections but in real life they are just really the same. Great explanation by Thomas Mansencal. Diffuse Color or Albedo AOV ? If you have time, you could shoot the reference separately, so one object does not occlude or cast a shadow on the other. Whether you are on a film set or in a controlled lit environment for look development, it is important to capture your reference in context. I generally tend to use one of the 2 scenarios below: I’ve not set up anything fancy with the lighting. Just enough to demonstrate how the reference kit responds to the lighting as I move them around the shoot space.
