ACES bitmap settings

[thomas_bussey]

ACEScg/Vray workflow: can anyone confirm if I've got this right?

I'm not about to rename all my assets, and I have pixamoon gamma organiser so can adjust the colour setting of VrayBitmaps easily, so I'm setting them up manually.

Diffuse/translucency/reflection maps (or basically anything with colour info) should be:

• sRGB primaries*
• colourspace transfer function: sRGB

Opacity/Specular/bump/normal/displacment maps should be:

• sRGB primaries*
• colourspace transfer function: none (I don't really understand how this works as many of them are JPGs and as such would be 8 bit and non-linear?)

HDRI maps for lighting should be:

• sRGB primaries*
• colourspace transfer function: none

*(I'm assuming all my assets were made in sRGB colourspace which is probably correct given their age and sources.)

Additionally can someone remind me how to use the VrayOCIO map when using a non-bitmap map? I know how to load the OCIO config, just need reminding what the in & out should be set to.

This could be helpful to you.
