ACES Workflow - Painter to Arnold - HDRi

Hi,

I got few questions on how to use the HDRi maps in Painter (and Maya 2022 and Arnold).

What colorspace do I have to choose, if I want to get the exact same result for my asset in Painter and Arnold 

  • If my HDRi map is already preconverted in ACES
    • in Painter ?
    • in Maya ?
  • If my HDRi map isn't preconverted ( I guess that's the case for default maps like Tomoco, Panorama...)
    • in Painter ?
    • in Maya ?

Hope it's clear. Thahks

Correct answer sharktacos

If you are working in ACES then HDRI maps need to be in the working color space: ACEScg. Many HDRI maps found on the web are in sRGB/Rec709 scene-linear so they need to be converted into ACEScg.  So the input transform would be Utility - Linear sRGB/Rec.709.

 

To get the same result in both programs you need to input the maps the same way in both.
