Title: Look issues with Beauty vs Lightmix
Post by: spomeniks on 2024-11-05, 21:20:10

Something I'm having an issue with is understanding why I'm getting such a wildly different look between how my renders look in Interactive Lightmix vs Beauty. I love the way the renders look in Lightmix, but in Beauty the contrast is all off and I have a hard time with them. I'm mainly trying to figure out if I'm doing something wrong, and just why I always see such a huge difference when there's not much extra added in the Beauty pass.

Color Management set to OCIO, ACEScg

Hi,

It looks like you forgot to upload the Lightmix pass.

I don't understand the problem. Beauty and LightMix should look the same by default, if you haven't made any adjustments to the LightMix.
If you have done some adjustments, such as changing light colors or intensities, then LightMix will be different than Beauty.
