I recently switched my set up to a MacBook Pro from a PC. I was using a plug in called PYCO to convert all my sRGB files to ACES to use in Houdini. However now that I am on a MAC I cant seem to find any easy way to do this (PYCO only works on PC). Anyone have any suggestions?

Hello,
THe best way to setup Aces is to first download a profile.
I`ve added mine below since for some reason I cant find the githuib page with all the verions.

Then you need to set it up in your .bashrc file.

With the following code


export OCIO='path/to/config.ocio'

Then you can use hoiiotool
below is an example of converting scene_lineair to sRGB


hoiiotool -i input.exr --iscolorspace "scene_linear" --ociodisplay "ACES" "sRGB" -o output.jpg
hoiiotool is in the binairies folder of houdini

you can also just init the houdini env in your bashfile using
(note that i`m not sure if houdini also installs in opt/hfs/ in mac

initdir=$(pwd)
cd /opt/hfs19.5
source ./houdini_setup
cd $initdir
