RD3 to EXR from Redcine.

[Manuel_Rey]

Hello, hardworking people! Redcine newbie here.

I'm having a hard time converting an R3D file into EXR. I'm a VFX guy helping a friend, and I'm attaching some screenshots to illustrate what the director wants and my workflow.
In order to do my work, I need to export the R3D files to EXR while keeping them in log space. This way, I can bring them into Nuke, linearize the files, do my work, revert them back to log space, and send them to the director for final color correction.
In the screenshots, you can see: the 1st file shows what the director wants when everything is done, the 2nd shows the flat look that I need the EXR to match, the 3rd is my export with settings that I think make sense, and the 4th is the result of the render in Nuke (RAW data).
Clearly, I'm missing something. If anyone could shed some light on what I'm doing wrong, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for your time!


Kind regards,


Manuel Gonzalez

Manuel,


Here is the workflow I use to create OPEN EXR Files to be used in ACES in Davinci RESOLVE. If you want a LOG look version, you might want to use a .TIFF SEQUENCE. Let me know if you have any questions about the screengrabs.

Press "CTRL" + "E" or "CMD" +" E" on Mac (I believe) to get to the "EXPORT" Menu.

In The "ACES TRANSFORM", as you already know, "NO INPUT TRANSFORM" next to the "INPUT TRANSFORM" equals "APO/LINEAR"

I'm using the ACES 2.0 CANDIDATE ODTs from ACESCENTRAL but you can just use regular REC709.

I don't know if you as a VFX artist can use .TIFF sequences for your work. However for the LOG look you demonstrated you wanted above, here is another workflow.
