Thanks man. Looks great. Currently working in Octane Blender.. Things are a little bit different but your tutorial really helps with the importing into da vinci and the colour management settings in da vinci.. That's the most important part for me.. So thanks again!!
None of this is about how it looks. ACES is only meant to equalize your input colors, not for grading! You don't choose your ODT based on what you prefer, you chose it based on what your monitor is, and if you prefer the output to look different you are supposed to grade it
This is absolutely true. I know there is still a lot of work that needs to happen to blenders color management before Aces is truly integrated into blender. In my professional work I have stopped using it due to color matching for client work. For artistic purposes it is interesting
@@GlassHandFilms If you decided to use aces and don’t wanna do any arbitrary colour guess work, you shouldn’t select P3 as your output transform unless you are view it with a P3 projector. ACES is truly integrated into Blender, you just have to tweak the config file according to the blender manual. Also you can delete a lot of the colour transforms that you don’t need as the list is way too big to show in blender. I would put the customized ocio files into blender colour management folder instead of have it in the environment variable, because it would than mess up all other applications.
@@ykadam this is great! I would love more info on the color config!
@@GlassHandFilms docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/render/color_management.html Down at the bottom, it tells you the colour space rules(roles) blender uses, mainly you need to change the colour picker to ACEScg in your ocio file, I find it that the colour picker will go crazy if I leave it as sRGB.
@@ykadam thank you so much for the link! I will definitely look into this! Cheers!!
Amazing tutorial! Thank you very much!
Thank you very much! Cheers!
Thanks for this...really does make a difference. Wondering if the ACES database could be edited to pull out some of the choices that an average user would never need. As in...save me from myself. Ahem.
There we go looks smooth at 1080 👊🏾
Longest processing time ever! 😂
Great video with great information! To my eye, ACES looks more "finished" with regard to color grading, while filmic almost looks like log footage from a camera that's meant for color grading
I would have to agree with you! Although technically its not perfect at this stage, bringing the ACES Exrs into a traditional color correction software like resolve is so much fun to grade. Cheers!
or you can use raw, and apply tonemap node in compositing, results are great , and without color damping.
the main problem of filmic is desaturation which you cant even change from compositing tab, what is bad, so you need to export image to saturate it or chose raw instead.
can you please please do tutorial for how to work flow with blender and davinci while footage shooted in green screen, tutorial for adding VFX in that i guess it will help others, well thankyou, i hope you will think about this.
Good news we can keep filmic and override the color export in ACES cg and linear directly from the new Blender version, it's also work with import aces footage.
but you need to rename ocio to something different like ocio2 because It has the same name, are you sure that the file will work fine? With blender 3.4 and aces 1.2 It crashes my PC when adding new materials from blenderkit, I dont j now why...
@@NeloMN1 you dont have to install aces ocio it's already integrated in the install of blender as Raw for the normal map, aces CG and aces 2065 for the color file and video footage, when you go to material editor import, the option is already avaible, if you want to output your render you need to check open EXR and use override in aces below the filmic rgb with aces CG if you need to make compositing after but if you just want a final result for da vinci resolve editing aces 2065 works fine same for aces CG you just have to work in aces color space in da vinci.
@@Meteotrance what I did is change the luts and .ocio file from blender to the aces luts and .ocio, then I put on blender ACES P 3 D60 (It's the way I work on maya) and then when I try importing materials from blenderkit or something It crashes
@@NeloMN1 some People use a modified version of the ocioo of ACES especialy made for blender but try a fresh Blender install without changing the lut, find the aces override below filmic for export in 16 bit open exr overide in the aces you need CG for compositing or final render aces 2065 if you use a video footage already convert in aces it's a much wider color space than the CG, i only use CG for my substance painter texture export and load in to the blender material editor with the right settings of the loader you should have aces cg and also aces 2065 and Raw whitout the need of an external ACES ocioo color profil, or try the modified one if you need to keep p3 profile but you loose the benefit of filmic converted in ACES. When i import to Davinci resolve the color are not modified i do my color grading, only in this software it's by far better.
@@Meteotrance the point is that I'm texturing a character on substance with ACES and then I Will export .exr to blender for lookdev and rendering, and I'm not sure that filmic looks better than aces, what you Will do in my situation?
I downloaded Blender 3.0.1 and ACES came as a default. Is there a way to get the sRGB Display Device back?
Hey hi! I just bought and downloaded the "ACES Blender Arcade Scene" you have in Gumroad, but the zip file is corrupt. Is there any other way to download it or to get it?? Thanks!
Hey there! So sorry about that. Let me try and fix this issue and I will respond back here
Okay please try downloading it again. If it locks you out or tries to make you pay again, please send me an email (email is in the video description) and I will send you the file directly. Cheers!
@@GlassHandFilms Hey downloaded it and unzipped, opened the blend file and it works fine! Thanks!!
@@ondarrupeasu awesome! Sorry for that
ACES. YES!!
One thing. You really shouldn't be changing around the view transform. That should be set to the color space of your display, generally sRGB for most people, perhaps Rec.709/2020 for those with pro displays.
The view transform doesn't get included in the render. So even if the view transform "looks nice" you're not going to be getting that in the render.
Ahhh thank you for the comment. Just to clarify, since P3d60 is a colorspace specific to certain monitors, we should only be concerned with colorspaces that our displays support? Makes sense to me. I've still got a lot to explore with ACES. I'll continue my workflow and improvements and share here on this channel. Thank you for leaving the comment! Cheers!
@@GlassHandFilms I made a slight mistake there. Confused my own damn self.
Blender has both display and view color transforms. It's the DISPLAY transform you want to simply set to your monitor's space (sRGB most likely). The VIEW transform does indeed affect the output, and is meant (I think) to achieve a "look" with the render. However, this is REALLY something done post render.
Oddly, Blender's Display Color Transform has no options for professional Rec 709/2020/etc monitors. .. In fact, there's no options for Rec709./2020/etc ANYWHERE in Blender by default. Only after installing ACES.
My bad. I hate giving out misinformation. I forgot Blender has both of those. Most other software (to the best of my knowledge) doesn't.
It's actually slightly confusing that Blender has both, IMO.
Be well. :D
@@artao5 When you have ACES enabled in Blender the only available display device is ACES. The view transfrom should always be set to whatever your monitor is calibrated at. So sRGB is the proper choice not P3D60 which is meant for cinema projectors. You don't render the view transform with your exrs. These are rendered in ACEScg and are linear. Also in Resolve the output transform is set incorrect. This should be rec.709 for video because that is the colorspace for SDR when rendering to H264. It should always be the output display you're creating the content for not a choice of look.
only Aces 1.2 file here github.com/colour-science/OpenColorIO-Configs/releases/tag/v1.2
Can you pls check a way to work in blender itself. I googled it and saw many documentations by blender about ocio
Hmmm I'm not sure what you mean. OCIO is shown in the video by setting up an environment variable in windows. Then you pick your view transform under color management in blender. You also have to tell OCIO what color space your 2d textures are in. After that you just render and use the exr's in post applications like Resolve or fusion
@@GlassHandFilms can we do it entirely in blender.
@@anandhups8341 yes most definitely! You can do the exact same color tweaks that I made in resolve in blenders compositing tab. I really love using Resolve. There is a free version, the studio version is 300 USD.
@@GlassHandFilms thanks, I just wanted to know that. Thanks for spending your time. By the way, this was a really good video
@@anandhups8341 thank you! I should make another video to show these same color enhancements but using the compositing tab in blender. Cheers!
You don't need to setup environment variable for using aces in blender. /watch?v=B7FWNNDXBl0 with this method you can make two version of blender, one with ACES and one is default.
ACES is really good but... there's some problems with it in blender, one of them is that RGB wheel stops working properly, that's why I gave up on using ACES in blender. How do you deal with that?
EDIT: whaaaa... it seem's to work with your method 😮 alright, need to test that more
EDIT2: Nope, it is still going crazy. Damn!
You are correct about the rgb values. In Arnold and other render engines you can correctly input a color in the correct space. I'm hoping that will come soon in blender. And yes you can manually set the color management for versions of blender but I feel the environment variable works really well with other applications. Especially fusion and resolve. Trying to find that configuration file every time is so annoying. Cheers!
@@GlassHandFilms oh yeah I hope they're going to fix it soon. There are talkings about that for a long time already but it seems that the devs are having their hands full with other tasks for now. Yet they somehow manage to improve blender insanely fast 😀 we should all become at least bronze contributors to the dev's fund 😉
@@KaironReaps I totally agree to this! Yes the devs are working so fast on improvements. It's exciting to see what is new in every release. I can't wait to see what will happen in blender 3.0 and ACES 2.0 😁
i wouldn't set the OCIO variable globally ... i'm running here a little python script that sets the enviromentvariable just for Blender and then start blender ... a batch script would work too
there is for example the spi anim or VFX OCIO config... that might be useful - at least for a starting point for you own modifications
The support for ACES in Blender is still a mess,which mkes the color of squence incorrect compared with the color in preview window.
And incorrect color is unacceptable in work.I hope Blender Foundation can solve this problem as soon as possable.Or maybe the ACES Academy should implove the compatibility with Blender in ACES 2.0？Let‘s see
blended squirrels are everywhere :(
I'm impressed by your level of knowledge, but you're way too advanced for me to understand. Where's the "on-ramp?"
Hey there Johnny. Thank you for the kind words! I have a few videos on the channel that are short and geared towards fundamentals. Cheers!
Where can i get tht colorspac options on shader atttibute.
