.3dl
.3dl provides a 3D LUT variant frequently used in Autodesk and some Resolve workflows.
Autodesk and legacy environments that need a 3DL flavor.
When to use it
- Projects that already use .3dl-specific LUT libraries.
- Teams maintaining legacy project templates that rely on 3DL-style assets.
How to apply
- Generate the .3dl output from the same source prompt and source image.
- Place the file into the location expected by your project template.
- Test a non-critical clip and confirm preview behavior before batch applying.
Compatibility
- Preferred in certain Autodesk and legacy pipelines.
- Useful where .cube behavior differs from expected results.
Caveats
- If your host app is modern and supports .cube well, .3dl is often unnecessary.
- Different preview assumptions can create slight interpretation drift.
