Great setup thanks. Works really nicely to achieve soft renders. I found that adding a Tone Curve is useful to bring back some contrast.
Saw it on a blender video, will try those luts ! Thx!
While they both have issues with blowout areas, from my perspective I like the AcesOT more than the AGXLuts. The AGX looks washed out to me, losing a lot of contrast. Maybe I’m just used to how modern phones adjust photos to look nice and punchy.
contrast is a secondary element here. AgX Appearance Punchy is just one of demo looks supplied by the author. you can make it as contrasty as you need it to be.
it is all about handling of hot saturated colours (Corona didn’t even bother with updating acesot but I guess it’s a different discussion)
acesot vs agx with matched contrast attached:

Interesting results with AGX. Could you export the lut’s for the other contrasts looks as well ?
thanks!

edit:
looks punchy and golden are based on AgX Base with power, slope, offset and saturation transforms. Base is created from logarithmic encoding Kraken with 1D lut supplied with original AgX ocio config: https://github.com/sobotka/AgX

actually, would even be better to have OCIO in corona, no ?..
^^Yes… more on & in-depth.
I found out about Agx a few weeks ago and I tried to modify or make new looks to better approximate the contrast of the default sRGB. I tried it in blender, even though I don’t use blender but it was easier to test it there.
And the more I increased the contrast, the more I feel like I was “breaking” the Agx. But at the same time there are many ways you can manipulate the image in OCIO so maybe I did it wrong ?

punchy double : this one is more contrasty but in certain situation maybe negates a bit of the AGX advantages ??

lut would be a better way to add your look. this is simple way to do that (with just additional lut on top). one spi1d lut would be more precise.
Hi. You could try this GitHub - EaryChow/AgX: Eary's Version of AgX · GitHub
It is a version of AgX that has some additions: Includes and handles wide color space gamuts, preserves hue better across the range of intensities, has contrast looks made specifically for AgX
Thank you Piotrus.
I like Kraken.
What’s good about ACESOT that this one doesn’t seem to help with is with highlights and the color shift in the hue of highlight gradients.
Good to have though.
sounds like something is not right with the setup.
screenshoot?
also - is this what is good about ACES OT ??:

you need 2 luts: A and B. B needs “logarythmic” option on. edit: both at 1.0 opacity:

Sorry! I missed that screenshot. I went straight to your post 8. I’ll try this setup.
