I am currently browsing through the include files to see if I can give a
meaningful contribution to their upgrading to 3.7+ standard. Over time,
some have been added to or partly upgraded, some are in am almost
pristine state going back to version 3.1.
I started small and upgraded skies.inc, using the scene files provided
in scenes/textures/pigments/skies.
This brings up a couple questions, illustrated by the images below. In
this particular skies case, the scenes are typically labelled version
3.6 with assumed_gamma 2.2 (image: s_cloud1-1). Obviously, this cannot
be maintained in any self-respecting program promoting assumed_gamma
1.0! :-)
So, I changed assumed_gamma to 1.0 (image: s_cloud1-2) and while I was
at it, I experimented with Ive's transformation macro and Clipka's
colour boost macro, and thus achieved a version with srgb colours
(image: s_cloud1-3). These macros have been discussed fairly recently
in these ng's.
The fundamental question is: What do we want?
