As mentioned, the reason it's looking "nice" in RedCine is that it probably uses the "Redgamma" setting, which produce a nice looking image. However, redgamma is far from ideal to do vfx work as there is no curves available (and won't be, last time I asked). Using R3Ds in Nuke I would set the decode colorspace to Redcolor2 and the gamma curve to "Half float linear". This should produce exactly the same image that you get if you render out exrs from RedcineX.
That being said, I've heard that you could create LUTs for the other settings using Redline (their command line tool). Can anyone confirm this? 2011/12/20 Ben Dickson <[email protected]> > The .r3d will output an sRGB'ish image, assuming you select RedColor2 > etc in the gamma settings > > So, the viewer-process means you are apply a linear-to-sRGB node to the > already-sRGB image, so it looks washed out > > > Ideally you would select the linear-light gamma-setting, do comp'y stuff > then apply RedColor2's gamma as a viewer process, and maybe burn it into > Quicktime renders etc.. but to do that you need to determine the curve > it uses (simple bit of Python to create a ColorLookup by sampling two > Read nodes, one set to linear, the other set to RedColor2) > > A simpler way would be to treat it like you have read in a sRGB JPEG: > after the Read, put a Colorspace node set to "in: sRGB", "out: linear" > > On 20/12/11 18:45, Ron Ganbar wrote: > > Thanks for this Deke. > > The settings are all the same, but looking at the Nuke Viewer set to > > sRGB, I see a very washed out image - what I would normally consider a > > Cineon looking image.
