Hi, great tool, thank you! I have a question: does it take colorspace into consideration? My textures are in ACEScg, and when I convert them, the colorspace seems to break, making them appear much darker-almost black. I’m wondering if this is an issue on my end or if there’s a setting to tweak to preserve the colorspace during the conversion. I’m using Karma on Houdini 20.5, which doesn’t natively convert textures to TX. The issue could also be related to Karma still being in development, even though 20.5 improved it a lot. Who knows. Anyways, thanks again for this great tool! Would love to hear what you think might be going wrong :)

@viilth576 Ай бұрын

Ah, found the issue! It turns out the TX conversion wasn't accounting for the colorspace. I tweaked the script and hardcoded it like this: command = f'"{imaketxPath}" --colorconvert "ACEScg" "ACEScg" "{image_path}" "{output_img}" --newer' It might be worth adding an option for users to choose the colorspace themselves -- definitely something that could make it more flexible! :)

@viilth576 thanks for the suggestion. I will add that to the script for sure.

does it work with legacy color managment and either aces luts from gumroad or ACES set to tonemapping?

@cirocardoso3v 3 ай бұрын

No, this is tool only works with the ACES Substance Painter file. For the legacy workflow you can still use the normal PBR Validator.

These are excellent tutorials, I'm just discovering the possibilities, it would be fantastic if you could continue both the OSL and Arnold content, if possible. Is there an OSL equivalent of Arnold/Vray Triplanar map? I'd also be interested in procedural dirt and streaks, similar to Vray Dirt map, would that be possible to recreate using OSL?

@cirocardoso3v 3 ай бұрын

You can do some of those things, but you need to search on Google to see if someone created a similar tool. For example, for triplanar you can use this - github.com/gkmotu/OSL-Shaders/blob/master/Triplanar.osl

Hello, do you have plans to continue making lessons for Arnold in 3ds Max? Much has changed and been improved over the course of last year or two, could you explain the benefits or lack thereof of GPU rendering with Arnold, Toon Shader, maybe the principles of rendering advanced animations with Arnold featuring moving characters, simulations?

Thanks! I really like how Scanline and V-Ray have worked for this. The Arnold setup seems so strange. May be I'll get used to it but so far its been a battle and its user experience is not nice. Feels like an uphill battle in comparison to other elements. V-Ray has a lot of easy and robust elements and you can see them in the render buffer just fine. I have to use Arnold RenderView to see them (quickly) and they seem awkward like the ID is not doing what any other ID setup has. All IDs are white. So now I have to troubleshoot that. Also it seems to lack options out of the box.

Can I use denoiser to denoise my Normal AOV instead of my RGBA beauty?

@cirocardoso3v 2 жыл бұрын

Usually, you don't need to denoise the N AOV. However, to denoise other AOVs what you can do is in the Layer Selection field type N, so that the imager will only denoise the N AOV. And you can also mix other AOVs, like RGBA and N. If the issue here is that the N AOV looks jagged, what you need to do is to change the filter from Closest to Gaussian.
