Ingredients

• 1 x Maya
• 1 x MtoA
• 1 x Monitor calibrated to sRGB

1. In the Render Settings, set all the Arnold gamma correction settings to 1.0.
   
2. Set your Render View > Display to 32-bit floating-point (HDR).
3. Click Render View > Color Management, and in the viewColorManager Attribute Editor, set the Image Color Profile to Linear sRGB (that is, your input textures are in linear space).
