Hi, I've been attempting to learn Octane X standalone on my Mac. Recently I've been exporting some renders and have compared the color of the render to the viewport. I have noticed that I just couldn't get the same color response from the render as I had done with the internal octane viewport.
Today I worked out that an HDR setting is enabled by default, at least on Mac and standalone. I'm not sure, but unless the Mac is a MacBook Pro or attached to and XDR display the color output can be inconsistent. I'm not sure this setting should be enabled by default.
Octane X HDR preference setting
Hi,
I'm with you, first thing to do in OctaneX Standalone is to go to settings/Color management, and disable the HDR Viewport option:
I think it was introduced several years ago for supporting retina display, but now with ACES/OCIO support it is obsolete.
The good news is that you only need to do it once.
ciao,
Beppe
