Hi. This is my current ACES OCIO configuration based on a video I saw. It's my understanding that all of these settings are the only thing needed to get the ACES workflow working (I don't believe there's anything outside of these pics?):

But when I have ACES enabled in my C4D Project tab I get way different color results in the Live Viewer than I do if I have it set to: Color Management "Basic", Linear Workflow: Checked, Input Color Profile: SRGB.

So can anyone tell me if I should have my Project color management set to Basic, or OpenColorIO? And could you explain what is actually happening here? I'm curious to understand what this is doing and why it's affecting my colors. Thank you!

Hi,

Frankly, there are only a handful of folks who would require an ACES workflow for Y or Y reason.

Have you considered the "ACES checkbox" instead of loading it through OCIO?

We are using our OCIO settings, not C4D's.
