anicg Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) I read in SideFX docs: https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/io/ocio.html "Renders from Mantra are in linear space." So no ACES in the rendered EXRs? Edited March 15, 2021 by anicg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symek Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 If all the inputs to Mantra are in ACES, Mantra output is in ACES also. If your color parms and textures are correctly adjusted, you are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no ACES in the rendered EXRs? like all render engines. all renderer calculates in linear space. there should never baked ACES-colorspace in exr lfiles. exr should always linear for maximum color range control. you should learn about the linear workflow concept Edited March 27, 2021 by schwungsau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwungsau Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 aces is a fancy way to compress dark areas more so have more color range bright areas to able to display on your screen. if the new apple display for example your got lot better color range then ACES. ACES = a way to squeeze color values as much as possible from a linear to a rec19 space (colorspace of computer displays). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
