What "Native Support" Means

When the OCIO website lists an application as having native support, it means OCIO is integrated directly into the software and ready to use without additional configuration or plugins. For applications with version requirements, you need to be running at least the specified version to access OCIO integration.

Key Takeaways

• Broad ecosystem: OCIO is supported across dozens of professional tools used in motion picture production, visual effects, and computer animation.
• Version matters: Some applications require specific minimum versions (e.g., Blender 2.64+, Maya 2016+, Houdini 16+).
• Native vs. versioned: Some tools have native support, while others gained OCIO integration at a particular release.
• Check your pipeline: If you're building a color-managed workflow, verify that your specific application versions are listed as supported.
