For anyone having trouble with setting up all the textures, the script "V-RayMtl Converter 3" works like a charm. But for anyone who cannot get the script, you can also just make a material library for yourself that you start your project with. Set 3 different material presets, one for each input type. Just drag them out from your library instead of the regular vray bitmap whenever you make a new material. - thank you for this very helpful video!
Never used Corona but if it's anything like Krita and Natrom, any program that can accept an *.ocio file should be able to make use of ACES and any other OCIO config.
Hi, i have a question: Is the Color mapping in V-ray tab will be set to reinhard or linear? There is a little difference in the general luminance and the linear is slower as the reinhard to calculate (more details and reflexion when i use reinhard)?
Helo sir, i follow this video, but when my render is finished i exporten on exr file, when i open it on photoshop or fusion studio it looks diferent to my vfb render, could you help me please?
I have a question, when we work in the aces color system, Can someone else who works with the srgb color system in his 3ds max,works with my file without any problems? thanks
Doesn't the Filmic tone mapping layer in VFB do the same thing (controlling highlights and color saturation)? Also, you can still retain the whole color and lighting range (beyond sRGB) if you save your render in 16 or 32 bit EXR. Then you can do as much color correction as you like without colors and lighting breaking down. As you showed in your first example, your sRGB output can look the same without using the ACES workflow if you add a Filmic tone mapping layer. Or am I missing something?
In most biased renders sampling is derived from amount of light and while you CAN render in linear and then color correct the finel image, under the hood stuff does not account for post effects, so you can have artifacts in overlit and underlit zones that only become apparent after CC.
I'm always confused about the View Transform Colorspace and that sRGB is used and not Image P3 which is a much bigger Color space. in my case my Monitor can handle 125% of sRGB & 95% of Image P3 . Could you explain this to me ?
What about imported models? How to adapt models (like forest pack assets for example) to the aces workflow? Do we have to change materials and textures one to one? Thanks
what about aces in corona vfb? I've been using it for several commercial projects and it gives beautiful, cinematic and very reliable results! I agree with other comments, ACES workflow in Vray should be wayyyy simpler. And if filmic tonemap, combined with vray lens, doesn't give satisfying results, maybe the scene is just poorly lit :)

Sadly, it's a lot more complicated as there's no plug-in (officially) to migrate the render elements properly to Photoshop.

You can save one material preset in your material library and then use it instead of Vray material. Just a few clicks really. And besides, I believe it might become automatically very soon a default Vray option.
@@thecaptain5026 Then you can add a template material to your favourite one. I mean it is a few clicks action. However it’s up to you what option is more viable for your workflow. You can create nice images even using a pencil.

Idk if enyone noticed when u give grey color to object (lets say a white wall with value of 220 220 220) with vraycolor map and set it to srgb space it becomes blueish...i know it has something with white point in ACESCG...But when I put image trough vraybitmap map with the same color value as in vraycolor map it is normal there is no blueish tint in render...it is all normal if you set rgb primaries to none...then its ok. Every other color is ok with srgb primeries, it only happens with grayscale...does someone have a tip on how to solve this?

Dear MographPlus, would You mind telling us, how should we set Gamma/LUT setup in max 2020. Few years ago -when linear workflow was a thing- Autodesk changed it so "max started helping with the settings" but workflow was never same again/since :( . Also my renderings :$ . Now we have ACES, but the question is still valid. Thank You
Nice vid, I've purchased your course and I'm finding it a really good option. But let me ask you one question. When you compare the render results in ACES vs RGB, you mention the difference between the highlight burns and how ACES handles this overexposed areas in a much more reliable and correct visual way. But, couldn't you get the exact same result in RGB just by adding an Exposure control in the VFB and reducing the Highlight Burn to 0.1 for example? That's the way I'm currently working. After that I add a LUT and the image tends to get the exact same appearence. Thx! +1
That's something I wonder about too. 10 or 15 years ago, everybody was working with Exponential Color mapping, which basically compressed the highlights and made sure there weren't any overexposed areas. This is exactly what the low Highlight Burn value does today. But anyways, those 10 years ago, everybody was like Ahhh forget about exponential, you have to go linear! And so everybody started using linear workflow and having overexposed areas. Overall it was a good change and the renders started to look more real, but then we always have to deal with those overbright areas or just make the lighting in such a way to avoid them. Using a low Highlight Burn value isn't looking very pretty, actually. And now everybody is saying to go to ACES, which again, almost like brings back that "exponential color mapping" ideas... So yea, I wonder, what's the difference? Is ACES just another color mapping curve or is there something more to it?
that's a really good question. and the answer is - yes it is the same thing. i am pretty sure that author doesn't know much about color mapping and just repeats the other guy.
@@vasyapupken I think you either don't understand what aces is or you are just very lazy to google it and to read at least a page before blaming the author and ACES. Perhaps you are much more clever than the whole cg, vfx and movie industry so feel free to introduce your personal color mapping theory.
@@davidslachta It is not about post-production, it is about a large amount of colour data built in your render, it is a different GI, you will never ever get the same results using linear workflow as the render is calculated within a wider colour space. Considering that we are moving fast and going beyond 8K visual experience you have to widen your colour range beyond the existing standards. Of course, it is always about "do you really need it right now? If your customers are happy and there is no demand in your area to get further" don't bother then.
I don't know why my render looks washed out and a little bit too magenta (with hdri), is it normal?. I think the presets are good but the white balance is too blue or too magenta.

I've been wanting to upgrade my workflow to aces for a while and even did it but i got stuck in the post process due to photoshop not supporting it, even with the plugin and the various workarounds its a nightmare to handle, I even got Affinity instead to try and work there but its not a whole lot easier, I mostly do Archviz atm and require some minor work after renders (mostly background) and looking for a simple process to benefit from ACES, maybe in 5 years adobe will help..
Can someone please for the love of god explain to me why is all that mumbo jumbo like converting textures, diving in render settings, changing color space needed when you can just use corona and never touch the settings, just start creating awesome looking images.
I still don’t understand how is ACES better, or even useful in CG only projects. Both of your examples depend on not using an appropriate camera exposure for the sRGB. You're using ACES to do what camera exposure is normally used for. Low dynamic range format like JPG is in sRGB anyway- like the textures you’ve used in the scene. So, I can't see how is ACES beneficial there. All the texture transforms appear to be meaningless given that you have no image input other than sRGB. Lastly, if you’re going to be using an HDR format like EXR, here you have full 32 bits per channel of color, so I still fail to see the benefit of using ACES- for cg only compositing/post processing. I'd like to understand it better, but it only seems relevant for compositing with real life footage shot in camera manufacturer specific color space. There you'd want to have a unifying color space other than sRGB until the end of post production. That way you don't discard colors saved in the limited, but better-than-sRGB-color-space of camera manufacturer specific color space. Thank you for reading and have a nice day.
Personally speaking after comparing older projects with ACEs incorporated, the overall colortones look natural or too saturated, cartoony, or generically cgi. Additionally the burnouts are subdued which is both fantastic for shorter rendering times (because less samples needed) but also gives a natural lighting feel to the composition. This also depends what your trying to accomplish and the industry you're in: If you're just working on a animated cartoon or in the videogame industry, this may not be for you. However for VFX movies and archviz this is a must because photo-realism is the overall goal in our projects, and for our clients. Not to mention efficiency is also just a side bonus. That's what I'm seeing with the power of ACES. Hope this helps you out.
Main reason i work in ACES is constistent color. Especially in productviz, where you get the textures or colorcodes from the client, you want to have the same color and hue as close as possible. It minimizes the post process a lot.

@@marcelouriartejiron6651 EXR files don't store the color transform. You will always get a linear image. To get the same result as in the render, you have to transform it again to sRGB, e.g. with a OCIO tranform node in Fusion. You could also export your render as a 16bit tiff file (no need to transform - compatible to Photoshop) if you need the higher bitrate. One more solution is the Blender compositor itself; create a file output node and plug in all needed passes and save all of them with one go.

clearly remember years ago people struggling to find the better renderer, turns out they are all the same, same good, sucks the same, having ACES to enable you to have wider larger dynamic range and better color science just make your render look good and natural

@@solidshark91493 my attitude got me to charge up to 1800€ (no tax inlc) per still image for architectural renderings. i'm doing like one image per month just as a side hustle and for fun. But tell me, where did YOUR attitude get you in the CG industry bro? lmao
how to make things more complicated tutorial. Dislike.
10 minutes just wasted, 5% useful info
clearly remember years ago people struggling to find the better renderer, turns out they are all the same, same good, sucks the same, having ACES to enable you to have wider larger dynamic range and better color science just make your render look good and natural
