Patreon Tutorial #36 - Introduction to OCIO & ACES *Available August 4th* (Patreon)

Hey guys! Now that the new Redshift OCIO v2 features have stabilized I decided to make a detailed two part tutorial covering this new powerful feature in detail. This tutorial will be available August 4th for my Patrons. I will cover using ACES in Houdini using OCIO. Loading our own custom profiles. How the rendering space influences different aspects of the renderer which were not possible before. I compare these changes to how things used to be done before OCIO was supported fully, specifically highlighting the new improvements and what was wrong before the OCIO integration.

I also go over how to convert an older scene to use the new ACES color management, and which texture color spaces we need to use depending on the texture we loaded. In the second tutorial I will be going over how to export our EXR render correctly and read it in properly using different compositing packages. I show you how to load the EXR using Nuke, Fusion, Davinci Resolve, Natron, Affinity Photo, Photoshop, and After Effects to get the correct result.

This is a great introduction to working with ACES and in particular the excellent OCIO v2 Redshift integration. I hope this demystifies this awesome new feature and sheds some light into some questions people might have. Thanks again for all the support!
