Hello.
I wanted to use the network render to speed up my renders, but I've noticed that during the render with the network system the filmic color management is not exported with the scene. I asked for some help on LuxCoreRender discord and B.Y.O.B told me that filmic was only blender side and then I need to enable the EXR output on network render to be able to export as EXR and then load it in blender and apply filmic.
Can someone explain me how to enable the EXR output ?

Re: Exporting renders in EXR format with network render
On the Render pane, in the Output section you can set the file format. It most likely has PNG selected by default. You can change it to OpenEXR there.

This panel only applies to Blender, not the scene files exported for network rendering.

edit: Forget all that crap below, I forgot that you can just enable the "RGB" AOV.
old post, if you want to make any output EXR:
Export as text files, then open the exported "render.cfg" file.
Somewhere there will be a line containing film.outputs definitions, like this:
Code: Select all
film.outputs.0.type = "RGB_IMAGEPIPELINE"
film.outputs.0.index = 0
film.outputs.0.filename = "RGB_IMAGEPIPELINE_0.png"
Code: Select all
film.outputs.0.type = "RGB_IMAGEPIPELINE"
film.outputs.0.index = 0
film.outputs.0.filename = "RGB_IMAGEPIPELINE_0.exr"

@B.Y.O.B.
I tried both solutions but it still save/merge the image as a .png. Adding the option to select the output format of the image would be perfect !

Re: Exporting renders in EXR format with network render
This should not happen.
Make sure you are using the new, re-exported scene with RGB AOV.
Re: Exporting renders in EXR format with network render
I tried with both .cfg and .bcf with RGB AOV but there is no changes. If you want I can upload the scene then you can check if I did something wrong with the parameters ?
Re: Exporting renders in EXR format with network render
Maybe the pyluxcoretools in network render mode don't use the output definitions from the .cfg?
I have barely used them.
