This package consists of a collection of our efforts to explain and demystify one of the most challenging issues in day-to-day vfx workflows: dealing with LUTs, gamma, and general color pipeline issues. Taking advantage of the technical nature of this collection, we've also included some classes on 3D, Virtual Cinematograhy, and rendering with Renderman and Mental Ray. And, we have a series of talks with Charles Poynton explaining color science.
