Mental Ray Lighting Techniques - Linear Work Flow

Today we were assigned to start to understand the making of a linear and more realistic render which is commonly used within special effects, but also to improve the quality of our animations when it comes to it. I had learnt how to apply a gamma correction node and to work in 32 bit rather than 8 bit.

This is the process that is involved.
