ACES! Four simple letters, but a complete mystery to many VFX artists. Yet mastering ACES is the secret to achieving those rich, cinematic renders that look straight out of a Hollywood movie. It’s the missing link you’ve been searching for. In this mini-course, Urban will guide you through his full workflow, using ACES color spaces to seamlessly integrate LOG footage with CG renders. You’ll learn how to properly convert LOG to the correct color space, work with it inside Nuke, and export everything for a final grade in DaVinci Resolve.
