But if output format is EXR in linear color space, you might set "mia_exposure_simple" gamma to 1.0 </div><div>Well! personal feel you will need to break mia_exposure_simple from maya camera, since this node does some strange result on RGB color matte (darker color)/ Point in space render (points become all flat, no depth) what I discover recently.....<br /><br />and the Final, Great thanks Stu / Zap and Kuan Lin..... who inspire me all the linear workflow<br /></div>
