Hello knowledgeable ones
Just a quick question. I'm doing a simple animation in Maya using images with brand colours in them, no complicated lighting - looks kinda like a vector animation thing.
I need to keep the the colour and exposure of the original images true.
What is the best way to do this in maya,i.e. material settings and lighting?
