How to avoid Blender using the OCIO config?


I have OCIO configured with a global env variable in my pc, this helps Houdini, Redshift and any other software I install to automatically use  OCIO to work with ACES colorspace

When it comes to Blender, Most Blender resources like ready made assets online are all not configured for ACES so most of the time I have to convert texture colorspaces to make it work, its quite annoying, simply i dont want to use ACES and work with Filmic as a blender Hobbyst so the solution is to override the env just for Blender. 

Here is how I do it

Create a .bat file with this code and launch blender from this

@echo off

rem Launch Blender without OCIO environment variable

set OCIO=

"C:/Program Files/Blender Foundation/Blender 4.0/blender.exe"


Boujou to Houdini to Blender


boujou to houdini -> fbx -> start index 1001

houdini to blender > abc 

in blender set framerate before importing the camera


Blender backplate settings

Image sequence will work

set to image > image sequence

set the `frames` > total number of frames

set the start to 1001

and offset to 1000

this will make the backplate play properly
