Rendering differencies between builds?

Hi Thomas,

you're right it seems to be gamma related...
first i've to say that gamma management in SR0.75 is almost the same than 0.52, but fully debugged.
The only addon to this tool is the "later" button, to help you composite gamma "later" in compositing software.

if you don't use the SR gamma correction, then your render will follow the max internal gamma values.

you can check this easily :
open Sr 0.75, verify that gamma correction is off, and check the value in the spinner. It shows the actual max gamma values. if the value is not 1.0 you can modify manually your max gamma settings to 1.0 (while sr is off).
You can also apply an SR color mapping setted to 1.0 to be sure you're working with gamma 1.0, whaterver your max gamma values.

Basically the interior preset is more or less equal to 0.52 internal settings, but now preset are fully customizable.
i say more or less, because there's some improvements wich can affect renders : glossies interpolation, reduction of irradiance map min and max when render size is growing, and so on.

Gamma stuff is something hard to manage, i've tried to make it as simple as possible, and i'll take account of your post for next builds.

i'll try to post next week some tutorial videos for each important feature of SR, like gamma, autosave, clay, optimisations, etc...

that's an interesting question

i think that a lot of sr users use all days the gamma correction, but perhaps i'm wrong.
i let them answer to your question instead

"old" 0.52 was forcing max gamma to 1.0 when gamma correction was off whatever the max gamma value before starting SR.
Several users asked me to don't touch anything to the max gamma values if they just leave off the gamma correction in SR. that's why the difference.

ok noticed for the annyoning warning, i'll just delete it
