ACEScg is the default rendering space in Maya 2022 and the default view transform is the ACES Output Transform for sRGB.įor simplicity, the default OCIO config file in Maya contains only the most important transforms and color spaces.The instructions below are written using the open-source ACES config that is widely used in workflows with other applications and which contains a larger set of transforms. However most of these extra transforms are rarely used in practice, so it is recommended to use the default Maya transform if you are just starting out. First, you will need to download the OpenColorIO (OCIO) configuration package for core ACES transforms.Install the OCIO variable with the path to the config.ocio file.Next, you will need to add the path to the downloaded ACES configuration in Maya (most 3D graphics packages already contain a predefined configuration package), but in this case, we will use the downloaded version. This can vary according to your system (you can install OCIO as the default color configuration for all apps).

This can be in the Maya.env or in the user Preferences (similar to the OS variable but only for Maya). Or you can set the path to the config.ocio file in the Maya Preferences for working with projects.
