Thinkbox Deadline color management OFF

[osukas]

I know that Thinkbox Deadline isnt a Autodesk product, but asking here if someone had the same issue

Im working in 3dsMax 2024 with OCIO activated, ACEScg, when I render the sequences in my PC the colors are Ok, but I do the Network rendering using Deadline, the colors are different. I noticed that in the Render window is a message: "Color mgmt OFF" 

even when I assign the PC where the project was made to be the only machine in the TASK, it turns off the OCIO config, and the colors are wrong. Someone had this issue before with the plugin?

I haven't used Thinkbox Deadline in a few years but when I did I seem to recall they had a pretty robust forum. Have you posted there? You might find more help on that forum.

I posted in the AWS forums, no answer yet.

If I get some usefull info there I will share it here.

I am also experiencing the same issue. If anyone has resolved this problem, please share it.

I still cant figure out how to fix this. 😓

a temporary fix is I rendered a color checker card in local and one in farm. Then the comper in Nuke made a node to grade the color.

Is this of any use?

I made more tests and Deadline is ignoring the OCIO configuration. In my scene I removed the OCIO (Color Management: Unmanaged) and when is deactivated looks like the render in Deadline, but I need it to work so I can have my colors right. 

I have a temporal fix, that is generating .tx textures. Then I edit the names to remove the colro space info, so my texture instead of being diffuse_sRGB_ACEScg.png.tx is diffuse.tx

but is a lot of extra work specially when you have 90 textures in scene
