Real World vs Digital Examples
Color Accuracy in Practice
Below are real-world comparisons of LEE color gels photographed in actual lighting setups versus their digital representations in Unreal Engine using ColorPak's converted values.
While slight variations may occur due to light source differences, gel transmission properties, camera settings, and color space conversions, those familiar with lighting gels will notice the remarkable accuracy of these digital translations. Video screenshots courtesy of Creative Path Films.
These color values work in any 3D program - not just Unreal Engine!
