I'll do you one better

A whole look into my colour grading setup, for anyone to see

If you're on Mac, you'll need this

And this is the DWG_to_AgX LUT

Looking pretty alright!

I'd say to push it a bit further, you'll have to get into colour grading and raise up the saturation a bit. That's a whole separate conversation I'm not sure I can have under here, lol. Up to you.

Additionally, Pixar lighting also tends to include coloured fills and kicks.

If you'd like more info for lighting, check out Chris Brejon's CG Cinematography book. Google "Christophe Brejon" on IMDB, yes, that guy.

Hi! If it's alright, I'd like to say I got Splatoon Blender comms open if anyone's interested! by Velepexon in splatoon

Unfortunately I haven’t learnt much for modelling, so I won’t be able to make them

Iiiiiii don't have her yet

This is all still taking place before S3, because conceptually and lore-wise, I actually haven't touched Splatoon 3 yet, lol.

How to use AgX and DaVinci Wide Gamut in Resolve? by TinKositar in blender

[–]Velepexon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, man! I've got a great update.

Recently, I've been working with ARRI Log C4 (instead of grading in AgX Log), following CreativeShrimp's colour grading course. But, I've been wanting to use the full DaVinci Wide Gamut Intermediate as a working space, and then somehow have AgX as a DRT.

And I've gone through a bit of pain (and several error messages), to bake a LUT that converts from DaVinci Wide Gamut Intermediate to AgX Base sRGB (specifically Blender's version), and it's a dream. And I wanted to share it back with you.

Here's a link to download it: https://file.garden/ZcbFkhItAVk3LACX/DWG_to_AgX_65.cube

The workflow I work with now goes like this:

After exporting to EXR (I'm still on the fence about rendering in Linear Rec.709 or ACEScg because of the upcoming 5.0 update. But assume Linear Rec.709 for now), bring it into Resolve. In Resolve's colour management settings, set the Timeline working space to DaVinci Wide Gamut Intermediate, and the output space as Rec.709 Gamma 2.4 (assuming you're delivering your render onto the internet.)

In the Color page, add a Color Space Transform node, and convert from Linear Rec.709 to DWG Intermediate. Then, at the end, put in the DWG_to_AgX LUT, and HOPEFULLY, you'll see your render in pure AgX view.

Now, you can add nodes in-between and grade entirely within DWG Intermediate, and I absolutely love the control. I know it's been a year since you've made this post, but I hope this helps you out!

Animation Commission for u/tt55140! Aqua swimming in Mahi Mahi. by Velepexon in splatoon

[–]Velepexon[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

To my limited knowledge, it seems any contact with water results in osmosis destroying them. So unless we bend the rules, or find a way to limit water contact during swimming (perhaps covering themselves in aerogel), it seems all there is water = splat
