Color is an important thing when you are rendering. It becomes even more important when you are required to follow some color guidelines or use color management within a pipeline environment.

Making sure that you see what the final result of the image will look like at time of compositing or output, used to be a difficult thing in Maya a few versions back.

With recent releases, Maya has adopted a unified color management system that expands from textures right down to the render view.

What if you are using a third party renderer though? Not to worry, as VFX Supervisor Timothy Hansen has you covered.

Here, MaxDepth (Timothy Hansen) posts a discussion on open color IO and LUT color profiles. Timothy shows how you can use the V-Ray Frame Buffer as a tool to streamline your color in multiple applications and even departments.
