Hey all,
I am after some advice / help.
When i am working in keyshot my metals / materials look vibrant and slightly true to how i want the, / my product… but when i render out the image the metals look flat and don’t look as vibrant. Is there a reasoning behind this? is there certain settings i can do to make them look how they look when working in keyshot please?
It sounds a bit like you view the renders with a different profile in for example Photoshop. A lot also depends on the image settings. While linear/basic make them more vibrant it’s often not the best route if you want to use the images in print.
Maybe you can share a screenshot with two images next to each other so it’s clearer what you mean.
It will be simpler to address if you provide some samples - say screenshots with good appearance, render settings, and rendered images.
Hi All,
thanks for getting back to us… i will get some rendered images done this week to try portray what i am seeing on screen to what is coming out
Yeah sounds like a color workflow thing at work here. I had to deal with the same thing when shooting on the early RED cinema cameras, when we were shooting log and raw, the editors would get the footage and is was super flat and washed out, but all the data was there for the color correction artist. on set, the output of the cameras had LUTs applied so the crew would see the “proper” image. Could be that your image is being rendered out the same way, so that post processing has more data to deal with, but the initial render is very flat.
Hi All,
Firstly thank you for commenting and giving some advice, i think i may found the reasoning based off your tips… it seems like that my renders were on basic image styling when i changed to photographic it made the renders look way better… so thank you all again.
Nice, it might look a bit flat if you put it at photographic but I must say that using photographic and put the ‘image transition’ on ACES gives quite a balanced picture. If you render those as 32-bit it gives you also a nice base to change contrast etc inside Photoshop.
I’ve been pushing psd 16 bit renders and man, the difference in how far I can push adjustments is soooo much better! i have not got into aces yet, but want to start experimenting with different image modes to get the most flexibility in post. I would love to have 2 presets, 1 for “i want a render straight out of KS and dump to social media” sort of quick render with no post at all, and one for “i want best ability to bash the hell out of this image in photoshop without any artifacting” sort of render.
