Gamma Irregularity between viewers

Hi,
I've been having a strange problem where all 3 viewers show a different perceived gamma/exposure value in cinema 4d. I'm NOT using the override kernal settings. The provided image will show what I'm talking about. I can get the lighting right in one view port, but it shows up completely over exposed in another.

Any help would be fantastic!

Thanks!

Hi,
how could you got a succes to do this? Please read this notes:


Render Buffer
8 bit: Colors are converted 8 bit RGBA channels.
Float tonemapped: Colors are direct output of Octane Render and with tonemapping by camera imagers. Notify that colors will be clamped by max. 1.0. This works well with 16/32 bit images(tiff,exr,etc..)
Float linear: Colors are direct raw output of Octane Render without tonemapping. Gamma=1.0. This works well with 16/32 bit images(tiff,exr,etc..). Linear color space for saved image, this is recommended setting to avoid user confusions. In Live Viewer, to get same colors, you should set gamma=2.2 and linear camera response of camera imagers. Also this mode supports unclamped color outputs.

Wow thank you!

I'm using linear response in my camera settings, 16bit tiff, and "Float Buffer" under render buffer type. In octane settings "other" I have a 2.2 "Xbitmap Gamma". I'll try playing with these settings and see what I can get!

Thank you!
