To use a renderer that does not support OCIO v2, you must use the legacy color management system known as SynColor.
To use SynColor mode, set the environment variable
MAYA_COLOR_MANAGEMENT_SYNCOLOR to any value before starting
Maya. Note that:
- To use SynColor mode every time you launch
Maya, you can set this in your operating system's user or system variables.
- To use SynColor for a specific session, you can open a command shell and set it directly on the command line before launching from the same shell.
- The environment variable has no effect if you set it in the
Maya.env file or by using
putenv in the
Maya
Script Editor.
To revert to using OCIO v2 for color management, make sure the environment variable no longer exists and then launch Maya again.
