Hi All,
The issue is when we use the color managment in a scene and we send it to our renderfarm, the color managment is not active anymore in node mod. On nodes the scene is open as gamma workflow.
Could someone can help with this ?
We are using 3dsmax 2025 with corona 12 and pulze 2.2.15.
Thank you
We have the same problem. If we upload in the new default color management (ACEScg) in max 2025, it renders in the gamma workflow when we submit it to the nodes.
From the Stack group:
IMPORTANT
Be aware that using OCIO in network mode will NOT work using Deadline in max 2025 (probably 2024 too)…
This result in incorrect texture color profile and max will switch to unmanaged Color mapping… (confirmed so far using Vray, or corona, Max lightening daemon or MAX CMD)…
Need to try if this happen too with Backburner (should since maxcmd in deadline is basicly backburner mode), to know if this is a Deadline issue, or a MAX issue.
EDIT : it appear this happen with backburner too (sadly still not compatible with ipV6 local network in 2024), so this is a 3dsMAX network mode issue…
EDIT 2 : OCIO Env Variable have NO effect
Edit 3 : So far the only way i found OCIO working on a renderfarm, is setting max color management to gamma Workflow (the old good way), then use Vray in ACES mode (loading the ACES 3dsMax ‘.OCIO’ build-in config in Vray VFB, if you want OCIO display as max OCIO default), then only use Vray bitmap, with primaries and color transfert set correctly and manually (no auto/default mode)…
Then it work.
