Blenders "Filmic sRGB" in Resolve ACES Workflow

Hi Thomas,

I am afraid you won’t be able to benefit of the two OCIO environments at the same time.

  1. You use ACES, match the look or generate a slight different one in Resolve and be free for P3, HDR or whatever.
  2. You use somewhere in Resolve Filmic and the output is a BT.709 gamut tone mapped output.

The ACES (ODT) output is display referred, the Filmic output is as well. It is even described on the GitHub page.

As you can see on my Filmic to ACES “conversion” on my website - the rendered EXRs are in this case actually identical. The only thing that apart from a grading step in Resolve is the tone mapping method - Filmic or ACES.

Hope this helps.

Daniel
