MaxToA color space - ACES or not ?

[hyperviktor]

I am trying to sort out color workflow in 3Dsmax 2022 + Arnold 7

I know max doesn't have color management but Arnold supposed to render in aces.

When I check the matadata of an exr , it says scene linear rec 709 sRgb Arnold.

In Maya the same flag says Aces CG Arnold. 

So what the hell kind of output really are we getting from max with Arnold 7 ? Anyone has the slightest idea ?

MAXtoA sets it to sRGB, as you saw in the EXR metadata.
There's no color management in 3ds Max, so Arnold defaults back to sRGB instead of ACES cg

One thing I haven't the chance to try is rendering using Kick. In theory, you could render in ACES.
