Softimage to render on alexa raw (log C?) curve?

[Pierre Schiller]

Hi everyone. My usual workflow is to recieve a REC709 live video to match
my cg elements from softimage (all good, I grade, compose, voilá). Editor
gets his material all colors are there for him to play.

This time, director and cameraman want to see their LOG C (raw  quicktime
clips with no color correction) composed against my cg elements on SET.

Question:
What´s the workflow to approach this?
I can think of asking the Rec709 on set, but that would mean an extra step
of reconverting the material. Thus delaying their work to film.

Is there a way to render out a LUT corrected as ALEXA raw directly from
softimage?
Modo does it. And it´s incrédible to work in SRGB or Linear , then just
select the ARRI RAW preset (or LOG C) and watch them both monitors:
editor´s and 3d compositor side by side. No difference on colors.

Does anyone have a workflow for this that could help us out on set?
Thanks.

David.
ps: I placed: AlexaV3_K1S1_LogC2Video_Rec709_EE_aftereffects3d.cube
on the
$default\Data\Preferences\Default\ColorManagement
folder. But I don´t know how to take it from there (I see the color
correction being applied on the render region).

Hi Pierre,
If i am correct you can set everything up in the preferences panel, select
your lut and make sure to check apply to render pass and preview as well as
render regions and viewports.

Could probably pull the lut file from this location.

http://www.arri.com/camera/alexa/tools/lut_generator/lut_generator/

p.s. ignore the preconditioning, its on by my mistake.

I looked up the arri lut generator, but there is no softimage there. So the
lut i generate will be for what product of autodesk?

I presume its the blank autodesk option from the dropdown.

RE: Softimage to render on alexa raw (log C?) curve?

[Grahame Fuller]

Softimage reads LUTs for Lustre and other products. There’s a list on this 
page: 
http://docs.autodesk.com/SI/2015/ENU//index.html#!/url=./files/userprefs522.htm#WSC52E97AF964D6E4A85D54D15483CB299-002F<http://docs.autodesk.com/SI/2015/ENU/index.html#!/url=./files/userprefs522.htm#WSC52E97AF964D6E4A85D54D15483CB299-002F>

My guess is that the “Autodesk” option generates 1D .lut files, but in this 
case it may be better to use “Autodesk Lustre” for a .3dl 3D LUT file.

[Francois Lord]

Try this LUT with preconditioning set to Cineon. It will give you the 
extended dynamic range that a log file can provide.
