setting up IDT of textures.

[ChrisBrejon (Christophe Brejon)]

Hello Rohit and welcome to ACEScentral !

Here is an image that I found quite useful :

It seems to me that it is the albedo map that is giving you most trouble. Artists generally complain about their renders getting darker, like in this very instructive post. So I am not sure why it is getting washed out. Could you please provide some images/renders ?

Using an ODT (such as Output-sRGB) as an IDT for textures is not a method that we recommend on ACEScentral. I’ll just quote Thomas here :

@Thomas_Mansencal

You should not really do this, I know it has been recommended here and there but this is not a viable working solution. It might help to produce a more pleasing result but it is dangerous as it might/will destroy the texture to a degree and if the idea to do that is to compensate for the View Transform, then it simply does not work and I would really like for that approach to disappear.

Hope I can help furthermore when you provide some images.
Al the best,

Chris
