C4D - OCIO workflow for Arnold and Redshift

C4D - OCIO workflow for Arnold and Redshift

Default way of OCIO workflow won't work on our side. The variables defined in your OS and later referenced in Cinema will result in an error. Please follow steps below to alter your setup so it would work on the farm:

ARNOLD
1) Move your color profiles (LUTs and config.ocio) folder to the folder next to the scene, in this example we are using relative path of OCIO/nuke-default/config.ocio.
2) Go to your Render settings (Ctrl+B) > Arnold > Main > Color Manager section
3) Set Color Manager to OCIO
4) input the relative config.ocio path for the Config field
5) If the path is correct and all files exist in place you will be able to choose from various profiles now. Select desired profile for the Rendering color space:



6) Since you are not able to add custom files for upload in Cinema and the profiles won't be automatically added one solution would be to link all needed LUTs and config.ocio as textures in unused material.

REDSHIFT
The workflow is pretty much the same for Redshift - you will of course find Color manager in the same place as in Arnold: Render settings (Ctrl+B) > Redshift > Main > Color Manager section (if you don't see it please switch the settings from Basic to Advanced view):
