This video is inspired by the Greyscalegorilla video ( • Better Renders with AC... ) on bringing aces to octane in Cinema4d. I adapted it to Blender.

This was pretty good. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Thx alot my friend! Very helpful! ;)
Hey, thank you for the tutorial! I have one problem however, when choosing OCIO view to ACES rgb my screen goes pitch black, same applies to all other presets except ACES Raw, I would really appreciate if you (or anyone) knows how to fix this.
*I have OCIO 1.0.3 & Octane for Blender 3.1, drivers up to date
quick question, I am not able to download just the specific config you outlined. Only getting the option to download it all which is taking quite some time, I doubt youll respond before it finishes, but one could hope you potentially have a solution. Appreciate this video. Ive been deep diving into 3d after having figured out modeling and texturing. now delivering a final product your stuff is a whole vibe! subbed. look forward to more!
🤓👍🏾 nice
Thanks for the video! Very helpful.
Do you have to convert textures in blender to ACES as well?
That is a good question. I have not had to do that. I am not certain octane has a way to read the color space of a texture as ACES. If it does, then you would want to do that. If it doesnt, there is no way to do that. Ill have to check that out and follow up with you
@@ManningMoore I did find that octane has an OCIO colorspace node now that lets you select your aces colorspace for each texture.
@@AnnisNaeemOfficial good on otoy! And the people working on the blender plugin. I know blender 3.2 supports "ocio color space aliases" and "new linear acescg color space". So it should probably allow that to happen natively in cycles.
Just to deviate a bit, I didn't realize you were the guy that made the amazing Lamborghini short film. Absolutely amazing stuff
Aren't you supposed to use ACEScg instead of ACES sRGB and ACES2065 ? Can't say about the preferences, but pretty sure in the OCIO settings it has to be ACEScg or in Octane the ACES sRGB is same as ACEScg + sRGB View Transform?
Quote from ACES Central:
"Generally, you should avoid rendering with ACES2065-1 because it is far from optimal for computer graphics rendering, some RGB colourspaces are performing better than others and ACEScg (AP-1) is greater than ACES2065-1 (AP-0) here." - Thomas Mansencal
hey how should i setup my display device, view transform, look and other in color management section?
How do i export exr to photoshop without it looking odd. I wish to render on octane with ACES color space then export to photoshop for fine tuning but it always look different, also is there an alternate format like PNG to export in or do i HAVE to export in EXR
How do you approach your color texture maps? Do you convert them into the ACEScg ColorSpace?
I did no conversion for my textures. The conversion I did was just in the render engine
Hi, thanks for the video, it's very helpful for me, but may I ask how did you set up the color management there and why the camera view and free view look different?
I'm confused with your first question. Maybe you can explain that one a bit more.
The second one is because when you render out of octane, you typically render with the view in a camera. You can do the same preview lut in just the viewport. Hit "N" to pull open the right side panel in the viewport. Go to the "octane" tab and do the same setup but with that viewport image processing. It works the same way
@@ManningMoore Thank you very much, I have no more questions, mainly to express my gratitude to you.
@@xiaobinzhou6933 I appreciate that dude! I hope you liked the video and if you have any more questions, let me know!
@@ManningMoore OK！
Great Video! how about if you do compositing inside Blender? or Inside Blender but with Octane Compositor?
If at all possible, I dont recommend doing that. Blender's compositor (as far as I know) is not able to work in the aces color space. octane or not. So I recommend using Nuke non-commercial (its free but has a resolution restriction) or Natron. also free
@@ManningMoore thanks man
I seem to have a problem at 3:17, my drop down menu for manual (OCIO) is empty. Does anybody know why?
same to me
Thank you for this video. But i'm having some trouble. I have everything you except the OCIO section underneath your LUT Strength at 4:20. I don't have that at all. Any help please?
I also Don't have Octane colour management in my drop down under preferences.
NEVER MIND ALL SORTED!! Thank you!
Glad you got it sorted out! XD
@@nikelombambo sorry but how?
@@nikelombambo How did you sort it out? Same issue for me.
Hello Manning, I'm not getting any options on the Manual(OCIO) dropdown at 3:20. Do you know why this could be happening?
Newer version of Blender Octane will auto set this up for you.
How to save file after set up everything?
Thank you very much for the tutorial!
One question is, what are your settings in Color management?
If your asking about the blender color management, it doesn't matter if you're using octane. It gets overridden by what we set up for aces. So I have my just set as whatever blenders default is
@@ManningMoore thank you! Also I don’t understand why you use ACES2065-1 in octane system settings and when saving Aces CG? What is the difference? Why aren't you using the ACES2065-1 when saving the image?
@@Dmi3ryd When creating ACES, There are a few different profiles that were made for different departments. The ACEScg one was made for the vfx/3D/cg side of post. There is ACEScc for the color correcting. ACES 2065-1 was made for archiving the large information in ACES. Its too large for practical use inside of compositing or CG and doesnt have the falloff that colorists like (which is why ACES cc was created). Instead its really just used for archival stuff. ACES CG is more than enough for studios and personal work, so I stick with that. I dont have a need for long term storage that many/most houses use, so I dont need to render things in ACES 2065-1
@@ManningMoore you show the following in your lesson. In the render settings of Octane you set ACES 2065-1 but when exporting to Octane Output select ACES CG. Why? Just why I asked the difference between ACES 2065-1 and ACES CG because when processed in Fusion, they differ slightly in color. Why can't be used everywhere ACES 2065-1? I'm sorry but I'm a little confused.
@@ManningMoore if I understood correctly in the original color data (Blender), I need to use ACES 2065-1 (as primary color space) and when exporting and also using in Fusion, use ACES cg for correction right?
I'm having a problem with the octane output it only outputs the 1st frame during a render the rest of the frames are just regular blender output
I havent heard of that issue. I need to look into that
if this wasn't enough for you to use it then listen :
they used it in lego movie (fucking amazing)
Any tuts of ACES for cycles in blender?
Cycles doesnt natively support aces. So no not really. I was hoping 3.0 would come with better support, but it doesnt
What is color setting in blender? Filmic or Raw?
It doesn't matter as long has your color output for octane is set to aces cg or 2065
can you do this in after effects?
Are you asking me to show you how to do it? It's absolutely possible in after effects. It's a lot more annoying to work with, but it is definitely possible
Any specific reason why you are using such an old ACES config file (1.0.3 - 3 years old), versus the latest version (1.2 - 13 months)?
That was just the file that I needed to get aces working. I had it for a while and just hadn't had a need to get any of the newer versions
i can't open 1.2 for the life of me. It always gives an error when i try to extract from zip
@@ardahocic2945 Have you tried redownloading the file? It's sound like the archive could have become corrupted during the download.
@ yeah i did a couple times but no luck there too.
@@ardahocic2945 It could be that your download keeps timing out, the extracted files should be 429MB in total. I've shared the extracted files here: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cr49XpXBQaqeKGUx_I7pPKuc8BBpugk6?usp=sharing
OCIO view doesn't pops any menu. It is empty
Do you have the most recent version of octane for blender?
Reselect the aces 2065 in the addon menu after selecting the ocio config file, should fix it.
put cfg file in english only named directory (for instance D:/OCIO/)
@@how2ae Bro... you saved my life, I've been struggling for days with this, my directory was full english but just used same directory as you and it magically worked haha thanks a lot!!!
Hi. I'm using OctaneX for Blender on macOS.
The colour management settings don't appear in the add-on menu for me, think you could help me out with finding it?
what version of octane/blender are you running? there is a possibility that it has not yet been updated for octaneX
Sorry, yeah I figured out the issue.
Basically OCIO functionality was added in Octane 2020.2, Octane X for Mac is on version 2020.1.5 currently
okay cool! glad it all worked out!
