I am sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean, are you suggesting after the image is exported I change it to linear in a compositing software?aoktar wrote:Png is marked as sRGB for saving if you are using it with default sRGB. But any OCIO profile is assumed linear. Set it as linear on saving.
I am still not getting the expected results, the passes don't export with ACES OCIO - sRGB.aoktar wrote:Pretty easy, you need to set it "LINEAR" because OCIO is linear internally. And always disable "ENABLE COLOR PROFILE" in PICTURE VIEWER. It's giving headhaches because it's not aware of the colorspace we're using.
Thank you Jay, but I have set the settings just as you suggested and I am not getting same result as you via the octane export. I am getting the same result on my c4d picture viewer though, with viewer color profile set to linearjayroth2020 wrote:Hello Meet,
Set up your Render Settings panel as I have in the screenshots. You will need to set up both the Main tab AND the Render AOV Group tab as you see in these images. When you do, you will end up with the image that matches the one I have included. DO NOT USE THE CINEMA 4D SAVER.
I understand and agree that EXR workflow would be ideal, but I am was using octane with blender before and this workflow was working pretty fine so I thought I was making a mistake in C4d to get the same results, so to clarify I made a forum post.aoktar wrote:+1 for Jayroth and +2 for: Why do you desperately trying to use PNG for render passes tooo?
It's wrong to insist to save render passes with sRGB. You cannot use these for comping. I see you're probably trying to just use "refraction" and "light direction". But don't apply sRGB colorspace before displaying something.
Please choose the ways we advice for render passes as much as possible.
Hello Meet, I have been "secretly" following this thread, since I am not a Octane-Cinema-4D user (Standalone only), I was curious about it.aoktar wrote:+1 for Jayroth and +2 for: Why do you desperately trying to use PNG for render passes tooo?

A lot of people think it is "working fine" and "looks correct" while it is not due to a lack of knowledge on the mathematical logic behind scene-linear compositing and digital imagery in general.Meet wrote: I understand and agree that EXR workflow would be ideal, but I am was using octane with blender before and this workflow was working pretty fine so I thought I was making a mistake in C4d to get the same results, so to clarify I made a forum post.
