Hello,

I want to create a Screensaver for my Company, therefore I'm using a short video clip which I created with Maya.
The Problem is:
My company wants really specific colors, which look exactly alike.

I bring the colors into Maya by using the pipette, looks pretty ok then, but when it comes to render, it looks completly different.
I have two lights in my scenery; one for create a shadow and another one for light up the scene a bit (otherwise would be too dark) its both directional light.

i think the color look weird because there is not the correct amount of lighting, but i dont know, how much i should use to make the color look exactly like in my .PDF file.

does anyone have any ideas how to fix that? the rest works like a charm : ((

hope someone can help me,
greetings
chakuze

Might be best to color correct in post? Do a color pass, then you can tweak just the color info in PS. Don't know the details, but in theory it should work.

What if you use a surface shader?
