Once you have Blender utilising the configuration, you are free to render away. From within the Color Management panel, change the View to your desired contrast level and render.The Blender OpenColorIO configuration directory is located in:Įxport OCIO=/path/to/where/the/filmic-blender/config.ocio Replace your current OpenColorIO configuration in Blender with this version.

This configuration is a step towards providing imagers with a reliable camera rendering transform and a base of aesthetic looks useful for modern raytracing engine CGI, animation, and visual effects work with real-world cameras. Why?īecause the basic sRGB nonlinear transfer functions (OETF / EOTF) were designed to describe an aspect of device response and never for rendering. This repository is ready to use right now, with no compilation or special Blender application binaries required.

Filmic considers all colour values fair game, and attempts to blend colours into a consistent output that matches our learned expectations from film emulsion-like media. As colour ratios increase in intensity, highly saturated ratios tend to be resistant to transfer function compression, which results in peculiar feeling imagery with some regions feeling appropriately over-exposed and others “lingering” behind.

It compresses the gamut for high intensity values.

The shape of the Filmic Base Log with a contrast aesthetic roughly emulates a photographic film curve.

This aspect is known as a transfer function or tone mapping. It compresses the scene referred linear radiometric energy values down to the display / output referred range.The kit embodies a high dynamic range transfer function and an intensity gamut mapping. It is as close to a Magic Button™ you can get for an experienced imager. For imagers working with non-photorealistic rendering, it also will bring significant dynamic range and lighting capabilities to your work, as well as potentially open up correct transforms for rendering to HDR displays and other such forward looking technology. This OpenColorIO configuration adds a closer-to-photorealistic view transform for your renders. This is a simple OpenColorIO configuration for intermediate to advanced imagers using Blender’s Cycles raytracing engine, or the Renderman system as included by default.
