Colour Temperature Tests

Just a quick post here. I took my apartment scene from earlier and rendered it out with a range of light temperatures. The chart below will show you 10 separate renders at varying colour ranges. I just changed the mib_blackbody value in each of the renders. You should keep in mind that some of these colours will never get as bright as they are seen here. An example would be the first temperature shot @ 1800K. This is the colour for match flame. You would never have a room lit this bright with just matches. I think for artistic reasons it does serve a purpose to see the end result of such a setup. Enjoy.
