HOUDINI + REDSHIFT - OCIO (using color profiles built into Redshift 3.0.46+)

For using the OCIO color profiles in Houdini scenes using Redshift 3.0.46+ we recommend utilizing the profiles that ship with Redshift itself. Please follow the instructions below (but before sending the scene to the farm please ensure the frame is looking as expected by rendering it locally):

   - the minimum version of Redshift required is the 3.0.46 version
   - please make sure to remove any OCIO environment variables added in the plugin - if you are unsure about that you can clear the plugin configuration for the given project folder by clearing the manifest ( GridMarket's render_submit ROP > Advanced > Render Submit Node > Clear Manifest ):

   - set the desired profile in Redshift as shown on the screenshot below ( Redshift ROP > Redshift (Mode: switch to Advanced) > Globals > Rendering Color Space > OCIO Rendering Space ) - please also note that OCIO Config From entry must point to the default config.ocio in Redshift's location ( <Redshift_install_location>/Data/OCIO/config.ocio ):
