An OpenColorIO configuration that adds film emulsion-like camera rendering view transforms to Blender's Cycles and Renderman render engines. It provides tone mapping and gamut compression to produce photorealistic, high dynamic range imagery.

Use cases

• render photorealistic images in Blender Cycles
• tone map high dynamic range renders for display
• avoid blown-out highlights and oversaturated colors in CGI renders
• emulate a photographic film curve in 3D renders
• prepare renders for HDR display output
• improve dynamic range handling in non-photorealistic Blender work

When to choose

• you use Blender Cycles or Renderman and want film-like color response
• your renders suffer from harsh sRGB tone mapping and gamut clipping
• you need a drop-in OpenColorIO config with no compilation

When to avoid

• you use render engines other than Blender Cycles or Renderman
• you need actively developed features (the project is in maintenance)
• you want a GUI tool rather than a color configuration
