Hyper colors?
Not a huge fan of the terminology. Although I feel the same about hyper cubes.
Would this include magenta? The example images just seem like fluorescents and such. As a computer graphics person, I’m a little disoriented by the article honestly. It feels more like a Disney / Pixar puff piece than a technical article.
- icegreentea2 5y agoYeah. I feel like there's meaningful stuff in reality here, but this piece (and the title) isn't capturing it properly. All I got is that Pixar does color mastering on a ridiculously high dynamic range projector with super high purity primaries. I don't understand how this is hacking, and I don't understand how this is cheating. What I would like to know is how close modern top of the line OLED HDR setups approach the dynamic range of Pixar's setup. I would like to know how necessary the ultra-pure primaries are. I would like to know how necessary the 6 lasers are.
- goto11 5y agoThe term hyper-color does not even appear in the article. Pixar used color to "hack your brain" the same way Shakespeare uses language to hack your brain - i.e. they use it artistically to invoke emotion. That in itself is interesting enough, but Wired try to make it sound more weird than it is. Some screen-caps with comments from the artists would be much more interesting than a color theory 101 which is embedded in the article.
- osaariki 5y agoI found this article confusing too. Being on a tech news site I expected it to eventually get to something concrete, perhaps producing chimeric colors [1] for an impactful moment -- something to justify the "hack your brain" line. Instead the article just seems to say that color design for animation is a bit different. [1]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_color https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_color
