Pipeline Tool Award Winner – OCIO
OpenColorIO (OCIO) is the complete color management solution geared towards motion picture production with an emphasis on visual effects and computer animation.
As such, OCIO helps enforce a color management methodology that is required for high fidelity color imaging in modern computer graphics. Version 1 was released in 2011 by Jeremy Selan at Sony Pictures Imageworks.
OCIO became the way to implement ACES at many studios and across multiple DCCs. In 2017 development on version 2 started, with an OCIO V2 working group under Academy Software Foundation were developers and color scientists from across the industry who hammered out the framework for what is now a very robust industry standard for managing color through the production pipeline.
This award was presented to ASWF’s Open Color IO core contributors, Carol Payne, Michael Dolan, Patrick Hodoul, Thomas Mansencal, and Doug Walker.
