I first heard of ACES about 2012, and I got interested in the topic. There was no software support, no finished release of ACES, and honestly, no idea why I should need it.
In the last 1-2 years, the interest grew further; a lot of learning and testing were necessary to get the whole concept behind it. Thanks to FXPHD, Charles Poynton, and INFECTED for helping learning and continue learning every day.
Now I use ACES in production on numerous projects with a variety of tools. Check the (ACES) note on the recent projects page that I added.
Check the IMDb page for productions that already used ACES.
On the following pages, I want to present some steps for helping learning and understanding ACES that I worked through in the last years with the great help of Sönke Heuer and INFECTED and Alexander de Lukowicz.
This is “Learning ACES” with Nuke, Flame, Resolve, Blender, Maya, Affinity Photo, and a little Krita.
