VFB corrections used in a VFB non-corrected scene

I’ve got a bunch of chairs being modeled for use in my interior scenes. The artist is doing a lot of his corrections inside of VFB (increasing contrast, knocking down highlights, etc) and outputting JPG’s for me to approve. My question is this: How will chairs that look fantastic now (after his VFB tweaks), look when imported and rendered in a scene where I do not use VFB corrections, but prefer to do everything in post? The artist insists that it won’t matter. I, on the other hand, think that his materials may look different than expected. Many of the materials are black leather which is a bear, to begin with.

Thanks

you can export vfb corrections and load it as a lut in photoshop.

that may help with the chairs, but mess up the rest of the scene

depends on how far he pushed the tweaks. A slight pull on the exposure, highlight sliders or slight curve wont make that big a difference, but a major curve or color correction may mess up tings that have been setup better from the beginning.

That’s kind of what I thought. The main thing is that he adjusted the exposure on many of them to .72. So maybe it’s not as bad as I thought.
