We use ACES in other software (e.g. Nuke and Da Vinci), and our entire pipeline is structured around ACES.
It is difficult for me to explain what doesn't work, because I don't understand how it works in octane (that's why I wanted the manual)...
Roughly speaking, ACES is a color management system that allows you to have the same preview in all the software that uses it... That presupposes a render color space (ACES 2065-1) and a preview space (in maya in the render view)...
I have not been able to preview in ACES sRGB in octane with maya... And there are several places (with several nodes) where to look.
- In the render globals; where I have even loaded an ACES 1.1 file... config.ocio
- In the imager; There are Ocio look and Ocio view, but I have not managed to connect it well (I guess, because I do not see the desired result)...
In other software there is a workflow document for ACES...
I have only found a Cinema 4D video where it is explained... But the plugin integration is different and I can't configure it.
In conclusion, what I need is a manual (to see how it works and how to configure it in octane for maya and in octane standalone) or an explanatory video with a practical case...
