I made the project in OC2020 before, the same project, now after opening in OC2021, the color of the preview window is white, how can I restore the normal color?

Hi,
if you are using the c4doctane plugin, you need to go to c4doctane Settings/Env tab, to personalize the default Environment color:

Thanks for your reply, my problem is actually: for example, in my OC2020 project, the color of the wood panel is normal, but when I open the same project in OC2021, the color of the wood panel turns white.

Hi,

Perhaps a change happened in the Camera Imager or at texture-level color management?

Yes, from 2021.1 it is possible to specify the Color Space for each texture. You need to go Live View menu materials/Octane Texture manager, and check that the Color Space is not set to No-color data, then change it to Linear sRGB-Legacy Gamma.

in 2021.1 there is also a new White Light Spectrum menu in the kernel panel, and by default is set to D65.
You need to switch to Legacy/Flat to have the same result as before:

However, do I have hundreds of image textures to modify one by one, and is there a batch way to modify them uniformly

Hi,
have you tried via Live View menu Materials/Octane Texture manager?

You should be able to select multiple textures, and change the Color Space in one go.

Thank you for your reply. I have tried to make bulk modifications like this, but as shown in the picture, the interface will be messy, with at most a few shaders to modify, which will take a long time. Unable to modify with one click.
