57 0

Autodesk VRED has announced its latest updates with 2025.3, implementing a new colour management system, OpenColorIO, to take its visualisation workflow and quality to a completely new level, and have added multiple other new features for visual quality.

The new colour management system, OpenColorIO, gives the opportunity within the physical camera to include support for ACES 2.0, ACES 1.0, Khronos PBR Neutral and an un-toned view transform.

VRED also adds brand new colour grading tools to cameras, adding controls for Primary, Tone, RGB Curve and LUT – with Primary adding three new colour wheels for exposure, contrast and offset, while Tone adds a further two colour wheel options.

The RGB Curves frame allows adjusting the tones using a B-Spline curves, where you have a curve for R, G, B, and one master curve. Use either the existing three control points of the curve to change the look, or just add additional control points by just clicking into the curve or by using the pipette to search for a specific colour within the viewport. User can also delete control points or use the rest button to get back to the default curve.

After selecting all your settings, these can be saved as a preset for easy reuse.

Also new is a colour picker for white balancing in a scene. Simply activate the picker tool and select a point in a scene you consider to be white. This aids finding the right white balancing in a scene with less guesswork.

Additional updates include the unlocking of GPU Ray Tracing in VRED Design, as a result users can now also bake texture-based Light Maps using the GPU in VRED Design.
