If I ask myself the question “is it too much?” then is it actually too much?

Your thoughts on the grade?

I'm a Sound Designer trying to improve my video production skills in order to mix these 2 fantastic worlds. Let me know what you think ! ❤️

Just having some fun with the grades and colors

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to connect with anyone who's worked on CGI projects with HDR color grading, specifically a Blender-to-DaVinci Resolve pipeline. I feel like I'm missing a "universal method" that keeps color consistent from render to final grade, and I'd love to compare notes with people who've solved this.

Here's my current setup:

• Rendering out of Blender as 16-bit EXR
• Importing into DaVinci Resolve for color grading
• Monitoring through a Decklink Mini 4K card into an LG C3 for HDR preview

The problem: every display I check on shows noticeably different colors. I know a Decklink + consumer OLED isn't a full reference-grade setup, but consider my ipad and iphones display as the true color here. After tesing on few other device I'd still expect more consistency than what I'm getting, so I suspect there's something wrong in my process rather than just "cheap hardware."

A few things I'm unsure about:

• What color space/OCIO config should I be using in Blender for an EXR render that's meant to go into an HDR grade later (ACES? Filmic? AgX?)
• How should Resolve's color management be set up to correctly interpret those EXRs without double-applying transforms
• What's the right way to calibrate/profile the LG C3 for use as a grading reference monitor, and whether the Decklink Mini 4K is even capable of outputting a "trustworthy" HDR signal for grading, or if I need different hardware
• Any recommended LUTs, node setups, or calibration tools people use to keep CGI renders and the final HDR grade visually consistent across devices and getting proper HDR output

If you've worked on CGI/VFX projects with HDR deliverables, I'd really appreciate hearing how your pipeline is structured, what mistakes to avoid, and what hardware/software combo actually gave you reliable, repeatable color.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share their experience!

I tried it and i liked how it did. It's simpler than Spektrafilm, i just didn't like the grain and the weave, it feels too digital. Also... don't use the dust texture, awful.

I've just learned about graphs and tried it ....it is good or not ? What can I improve??
