OpenColorIO Version 2 Updates ACES Transforms
It’s getting easier to use OCIO and ACES together with new developments in OCIO v2 announced this week. Thanks to the OCIO team!
Version 2 functionality includes a new GPU renderer, native implementation of ACES (Academy Color Encoding System), an improved user experience, and processing improvements. The developers wanted to make sure that the new functions and improvements in OpenColorIO v2 address real production needs, but also keep the simplicity of approach and flexibility that users are already used to.
The native ACES implementation replaces the requirement for finite LUT files. ACES Output Transforms no longer use 3D LUTs and are precise enough even when exposure values are extreme. Full read and write support is included for the Academy/ASC Common LUT Format (CLF).
