What is the ACEScg working color space?

Function Introduction

D5 now supports the ACEScg working color space , offering a wider gamut than traditional Linear-sRGB (Rec. 709). In high-dynamic-range and complex lighting, ACEScg retains more color detail and reduces clipping and shifts in bright areas, giving you steadier, more realistic color.

Applicable Scenarios

• Architectural visualization projects that require high color accuracy, such as interior lighting, mood rendering, and sunset scenes with a high dynamic range (HDR).

• Professional workflows that require a consistent color space when exporting to post-production software such as Nuke or DaVinci Resolve.

Working Color Space Settings

A new Working Color Space option has been added under Preferences → Rendering. This setting defines the color gamut used for internal color calculations during rendering.

• Linear sRGB (Rec. 709): The traditional standard working color space, suitable for most rendering workflows.

• ACEScg: A wider-gamut color space that covers a larger portion of the visible spectrum, making it ideal for high-quality rendering and advanced color workflows.

_Note:_The selected Working Color Space is saved with each project, allowing different projects to use independent color space configurations.

Material Color Adjustment Control

• The material color adjustment control supports switching between the sRGB color gamut and the ACEScg color gamut

• The color adjustment's default setting is the sRGB color gamut.

• This change affects all color input palettes
