How to remove HUD Sliders? Oct. 9, 2024, 10:29 a.m.

Possible solution, while we wait for an option to disable the HUD sliders

There is a new pref to disable/enable HUD handles in 20.5.381

Houdini uses packages to setup the user OCIO environment variable. You can add your OCIO package manually to your user folder like the one below to tell Houdini to create and set the OCIO environment variable with the settings from your houdini-config-v2.1.0_aces-v1.3_ocio-v2.3.ocio file.

{
  "enable" : true,
  "load_package_once" : true,
  "env": [
        {"OCIO" : "${OCIO-C:/Users/bob/houdini21.0/ocio/houdini-config-v2.1.0_aces-v1.3_ocio-v2.3.ocio}"}
  ]
}

Or simply use the OCIO editor (Edit|OCIO Settings...) to create the same user package the first time you save your settings.

You could use the package's default var syntax [www.sidefx.com] to access $redshift_version. With this syntax you can provide a default value if an env var does not exist or is empty.

Example: $RSVER is set with ${redshift_version} or "3.06.4" if ${redshift_version} does not exist or is empty.
{"RSVER": ${redshift_version-"3.06.4"},
{"PATH": "R:/RedshiftGlobal/${RSVER}/bin"},
