Hello, is there anyway to set review colorspace in AYON?
I see there are individual options for hosts Nuke and Houdini with the existence of the settings ‘/houdini/imageio/workfile/review_color_space’ and ‘nuke/publish/ExtractReviewIntermediates/outputs/0/colorspace_override/colorspace’ however is there a way to set a general conversion for the rest of the DCCs? or do they require being manually set for each? if so what are the settings for Flame and Maya addons?
I’ve seen ExtractOIIOTranscode referenced in other threads however this appears to convert the representation which would be the frames representation. I don’t want to convert the frames to the new colorspace, just the review.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
As far as I can tell, working with colorspace in each DCC is related to how this DCC adopted working with colorspaces.
That’s why you may see review colorspace in some DCCs.
Another thing is: review colorspace setting in Houdini refers to the colorspace used with review creator.
It’s worth mentioning that there 2 was of generating reviews (expecially in 3d softwares like Maya and Houdini)
review creatorcreates review (image sequence) from view port (which know as playblast in Maya or flipbook in Houdini).review toggle in render instancescreates a review (video) from Render sequence.
ExtractOIIOTranscode can be configured to convert the colorspace of the image sequence, and it can apply additional tag to it which can be used to control the colorspace of the review (video).
Okay, thanks, at first I did not realise that ExtractOIIOTranscode created a new representation which solved the issue with the transformation happening to the original render representation.
In the above example would ‘review’ in ‘Product Types’ work as it appears that this is checked against the instances product type which is more likely to be something like ‘render’.
I ask this as I am looking for/creating a way to filter by families rather than just product type as currently if I wanted it for all product types, on all tasks, on all hosts (i.e. no filters) it would convert all image representations however I would only want it to happen on image representations with review in its families.
As far as I can tell, the Extract OIIO Transcode doesn’t provide families filter.
Also, for information, the logic for processing publish instances with the Review toggle enabled may differ from one addon to another.
However, the end goal of any logic is the same, add review to families (I can’t remember so not sure about this one) and add review tag to the relevant product.
So, I believe it’s sufficient to add image product type, disable deleting original representation, add review tag.
Okay, thank you, I’ll see what I can do.
