local and render network files look different

[misi]

Hi All,

recently I rendered files on the Render Network.
I exported the c4d file as orbx file and uploaded to the farm.
I needed to do some cover renders to fix minor issues so I rendered the same file locally.
However when I wanted to composite them in Fusion, they looked difference, one of them were darker.
Anyone experienced something similar?

Thanks

One thing to try is to render the orbx file in the standalone and see if it looks the same. I'm curious to see why there's a difference as I can see using both the render network and local rendering for projects as well.

I've noticed some pretty large differences between octane 2023 and 2024 in some of my older projects. I'm not sure if it's color management or the way the tone mapper works now, but I noticed the 2024 renders are darker as well.

It usually shouldn't make a difference, but you may need to make sure the Octane engine version selected on RNDR matches the one you run locally.
