Hi Torax,

unfortunately software cannot be installed on a server. even if it was you
would still have to setup each individual artist with the manually defined
environment variables or paths to the luts location. I'm specifically
talking about frame cycler when manually defining paths. all nuke software
is installed locally on each machine and I'm looking for a way to point
frame cycler and rv at luts installed globally. I'm wanting all of this done
without having to go to each artist machine and perform a manual setup. Nuke
already has a viewer lut setup, utilizing the alexa 3D lut through a vector
field node.

sources.mu" file so the lut get applied automatically based on some
conditionals.
