[This post](https://discourse.threejs.org/t/updates-to-color-management-in-three-js-r152/50791) may help understanding changes that happened in latest releases - r125 is quite an old version of three, updating the example to r155 will require you to use `colorSpace` instead of `encoding` for textures and render targets / output.
