So I have been really trying to figure out the easiest way for me to export from Houdini's Mantra to Fusion / Davinci Resolve (mainly Davinci Resolve as of right now) and have the images match. All in all, I am not tweaking too much of the Mantra node's render settings aside from min/max rays, pixel samples and stochastic transparency. It is still exporting as an .exr and the variance color space is set to ‘Gamma 2.2’. My trouble is when I am previewing the image in Mantra, it looks perfectly fine (of course haha I built it in Houdini). The image looks like so:

I am using volumes to add to the lighting and a simple shape. But the problem comes in once I import it into directly Resolve (doesn't really need color or anything). It shows up extremely dark.

And finally, thanks to seeing another forum [www.sidefx.com] post here, I learned that I can add a vfx LUT to fix the image somewhat. And it comes out like so:

So it looks a lot better but for some reason it is not showing my volumes that were rendered and I checked that they were rendered.

I am just at a loss right now and simply want to import some sequences to Davinci Resolve and Fusion and have the colors match between programs. Am I missing something when I am rendering? Any help with this would be extremely appreciated!
