[Max] Feature Requests / Re: Improved support of max colour management

almost never.

always the 3dsmax corona vfb with some editing in the tone mapping (but very simple, most of the time just AgX Lut), and most of the time directly saved to .jpg

From my point of view, the Agx color management is quite seducing. Nice highlight falloff, colors OK, i like the desaturated aspect as will on high values.

I most of the time use your AgX matrix (thanks) + custom 1D curve made with Lutcalc, and it works quite well.

I also tend to have little photoshop editing at the end, so i like to have my colors right in the render, and i find it very hard to finetune them in the VFB.

So i thought of finding the nice color setups with a lut in Resolve, and then bake them with AgX in one single LUT.

It would be nice to have your resolve/fusion workflow to see how you manage to create those LUT's... ;)

Between the -1.2 string, the "log" option in the vfb lut, the AgX ocio and DCTL (that i managed to install in resolve+fusion), the custom color correct node, well...it gets a little confused ;)

So when i color edit a 32bit image with Agx and dctl, i have trouble exporting to a lut to have the same result in the corona vfb

Hello Piotrus,

what do you mean by "float colormap.additionalGamma = -1.2" ?
do you type this in maxcript listener ? (when i type this, i got a bunch of errors)

thanks!

[Max] Feature Requests / Re: Curve editor values above 1 ?

« on: 2024-02-09, 10:16:25 »

The one in the VFB and in the curve editor in the coronacolorcorrect material.

this is helpfull with controling hdri's for instance, where values are often above 1

[Max] Feature Requests / Boom and Glare before LUT's

« on: 2024-01-20, 11:40:59 »

Hello,

would it be possible to add the Bloom and Glare *before* you apply the different LUT's ?

since the luts compress to a 0-1 value, it seems more difficult to apply the bloom and glare only to the very bright spots (with the Threshold), if i am not mistaken.

Thanks

[Max] Feature Requests / new edgemap working with closed objects, not just planes

Hello,
would it be possible to have the new edgemap also work with closed surfaces/volumes, and not only planes ?
thanks

Actually, it seems that in order to actually see the effect of the 3dsmax OCIO, you need to click on the ">MAX" button to see the rendering in the max vfb instead of the corona VFB ?

Correct ?

[Max] I need help! / corona 11 / max ocio config

« on: 2023-12-01, 13:55:41 »

Hello,

is there a manual somewhere that explains how to set up Corona 11 and the native 3dsmax OCIO config ?

somehow, it is not applied when rendering...

thanks!

Hello,

Any ideas how to solve that so i can use all of the render nodes ?...

Thanks!

actually, the trick of the two luts, one for the color matrix (especially for controling the "above 1" color values), one for the curve is pretty interesting.

i made a few of my own for the matrix and for the 1dlut curve, maybe less scientifically correct as the one of piotrus, but the results are nice !

thanks for the tip !
