Having a controllable color space workflow from shooting, through post and to delivery is mandatory in film production. The ACES (Academy Color Encoding System) support whatever possible color despite being able to reproduce it or not. It has the largest gamut of all color spaces and uses OpenEXR.
Being able to see the same picture no matter what hardware or software you’re using is a huge step forward in the digital film pipeline. No more color conversions, no more in house linearizing, no more pipeline dependent custom software for color reproduction. Record in ACES color space, display in ACES color space, composite linear files using ACES color space for display, grade using ACES and deliver in ACES color space that will be then projected in theaters or on TV.
Note that ACES work closely with OCIO, please watch “vr_color_management_pt4_OCIO” tutorial first.

Tone mapping addresses the problem of strong contrast reduction from the scene radiance to the displayable range while preserving the image details and color appearance important to appreciate the original scene content. To summarize, we often get very bright and concentrated lit areas near are...

Global illumination methods are quite intimidating because they must be blended in order to simulate indirect illumination created with photons in the physical world. We will study in depth brute force, irradiance and light cache methods and see how they can be used in case of animation, not only...

VR030 - vr_materials_pt3
It is often useful to blend two or more materials together for such effects like shellacs, varnishes and more.
We ll see how to use the V-Ray_Carpaint_mtl and go beyond its limitations with complex shading networks.
