An automated OCIO configuration can be set with the OCIO environment variable.
 

There are few steps you need to follow to set this up:

 
  1. Download the Open Color IO configuration package from GitHub: https://github.com/colour-science/OpenColorIO-Configs

  2. Set the OCIO environment variable and point it to the config.ocio file.
    For example, to set up the OCIO configuration with aces_1.2:

    Code Block
    Windows: set OCIO=C:\OpenColorIO-Configs\aces_1.2\config.ocio
    Linux: export OCIO=/home/user/OpenColorIO-Configs/aces_1.2/config.ocio
    macOS: export OCIO=/home/user/OpenColorIO-Configs/aces_1.2/config.ocio
    UI Text Box
    typenote

    The existence of this environment variable controls whether Houdini automatically uses OCIO in various places.


  3. You can then use the OCIO Input Color Space Rules or define custom rules within Houdini.

For more information, see the Getting Started with Environment Variables page.

When rendering with V-Ray Standalone, an OCIO configuration can be set with the following OCIO environment variables:

VRAY_VFB_OCIO_INPUT_COLORSPACE – Specifies default OCIO input color space.

VRAY_VFB_OCIO_DISPLAY_DEVICE – Specifies default OCIO display device.

VRAY_VFB_OCIO_VIEW_TRANSFORM – Specifies default OCIO view transform.

For example, set a default OCIO input color space, display device, and view transform:

Code Block
Windows: set VRAY_VFB_OCIO_INPUT_COLORSPACE = ACES - ACEScg
Windows: set VRAY_VFB_OCIO_DISPLAY_DEVICE = ACES
Windows: set VRAY_VFB_OCIO_VIEW_TRANSFORM = sRGB
 
Linux: export VRAY_VFB_OCIO_INPUT_COLORSPACE = ACES - ACEScg
Linux: export VRAY_VFB_OCIO_DISPLAY_DEVICE = ACES
Linux: export VRAY_VFB_OCIO_VIEW_TRANSFORM = sRGB
 
macOS: export VRAY_VFB_OCIO_INPUT_COLORSPACE = ACES - ACEScg
macOS: export VRAY_VFB_OCIO_DISPLAY_DEVICE = ACES
macOS: export VRAY_VFB_OCIO_VIEW_TRANSFORM = sRGB

Note that without setting these variables, it is not possible to render in ACES color space with V-Ray Standalone.
