I made a handy little guide for myself to working with ACES in Fusion, since I am consistently forgetting or overlooking things I need to remember. I’d love if someone can give this a look over and let me know if I got anything wrong, or am missing anything.<\/p>\n

“`-CG renders in ACEScg color space -All elements converted from their source space into ACEScg, if not already in that color space.
\n-Two methods of working in Fusion:
\n1. Display LUT in the viewer – Choose OCIO Display – Edit it to make sure it is pointing to an OCIO config (ACES 1.3, for example) – Source Space: ACEScg – Display: sRGB – Display if working on web, rec709 for film and TV, usually. – View: ACES 1.0 – SDR Video – This will not affect rendering. To bake in the Display LUT, you need option 2.
\n2. Display LUT as a Fusion Node – For viewer, make sure no LUT is active – Add OCIO Display node at the end of the chain. Compositing happens before that. – Make sure the OCIO Display Node is pointing to an OCIO config (ACES 1.3, for example) – Source Space: ACEScg – Display: sRGB – Display if working on web, rec709 for film and TV, usually. – View: ACES 1.0 – SDR Video – If you render this, it will bake the display LUT, including the ACES tonemapper, into your rendered files.
\n->Shows usually provide a LUT with their own formula and color decisions that should be used instead of the generic ACES + tonemapper conversion.
\nDifference between OCIO Display and OCIO Colorspace – Display has the ability to use the ACES Tonemapper, Colorspace does not. – So, Colorspace is for color conversions, but Display is for viewing. – You can bake the display with the tonemapper into a render if needed.
\nFor Delivery of files – For viewables, if baking in the display transform, run comp through OCIO Display, going from ACEScg to sRGB or Rec709 Display, with ACES 1.0 – SDR Video View. Set the Color Space and Gamma Space on the saver node to Keep. Do not enable Apply Curve. – If passing off to another artist, keep in ACEScg space without the tonemapper and render out exr files. – If passing off for final delivery, usually the color space needs to be converted from ACEScg to ACES2065-1 using an OCIO Colorspace node before going to the saver. EXR is typically the delivery format.“`<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
