Hey guys so I have a problem that I have no idea how to figure it out.

So 1 year ago, I followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zb3XjNBgRE [www.youtube.com]


It helped me to set up ACES workflow on houdini. Things were nice and dandy until Houdini 20.5, when I saw that houdini now was shipped with a bunch of presets for ACES on the OCIO settings.

I went and deleted the variable that I created following that tutorial and then houdini decided to give me this error.



I am a bit lost. I tried some dumb shit like unitalling houdini but I guess because I use the steam version my configs are always saved on a cloud?

Any help would be nice

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.
