Implement Open Color IO in Maya and 3ds Max

[marion michon]

Hello,

I would like to implement OpenColor IO in Maya and 3ds Max at startup.

Can you explain me how can I do that from Python please ? 

The goal is that Open Color IO will be implemented at startup of each software, i'm using Vray for both of them so if you can help me, I would be grateful !

Thanks,

Best regards,

Marion

Hi Marion,

 

Maya supports OCIO as synColor embeds the OCIO library for config file reading.

Below are some links explaining the OCIO support in Maya & Arnold:

Maya -> https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2017/ENU/Maya/files/GUID-A5A2B5C8-7992-41E3-8482-9DD86EC89717-htm.html

Arnold -> https://arnold-rendering.com/2017/06/01/color-management-in-arnold-for-maya/

Here is the command to query/edit the Color Management settings in Maya:

Having an OCIO config file at Maya startup could be done by setting the OCIO env. variable to a specific config file before starting Maya.

Regards,

Patrick.
