Isn't the gamma now integrated in the GI settings on R11?

Here is a slight alteration on the project:

The Gamma makes it amazing! Thanks Nick!

yes it gets a bit confusing since you have gamma controls in C4D (v.11) probably the same in v.10:

-Render Settings-
1. Options (render Gamma) is 1.8 at default
2. Color Correction "gamma" as mentioned here
3. Global illumination "gamma"

So 3 places to fiddle around with gamma.
this was helpful but I´m still a bit confused here :)

But true it is essential to learn how to control that endless gamma challenge.

thx for your casts.

2)this post was a revelation

Where is the scene for download? and will it use MoGraph? I don't have that, but I created a load of spheres so I can follow along, but my area light doesn't look the same as yours.

Nice! But you're using it on a dark scene. Wouldn't it make a bright-er scene whashed out? My C4D copy is busy rendering a scene but I will definitely check it out.
@Fran Backer. This has nothing to do with MoGraph. Just go to your render settings and add the color correction effect. You can alter the gamma value there (1 by default).
Thanks for the info and thanks to Chad.
