Title: Incorrect lighting after reopening scene
Post by: Salmaasa on 2024-11-27, 18:24:21

I set up the lighting, rendered a scene, and closed it. I reopened the scene to make some changes, but this time, the lighting was different, even though I saved all the lighting parameters of the previous render. This has happened before.
Something I noticed is that when I save the incorrect lighting render, it saves right. But you can see in the screenshot that the lighting is different in the viewport.
What can I do?

which version of corona and 3ds max you used in this scene? did you change versions or color management settings in your 3ds max?

I use 3ds max 2025 and Corona 12. I think the problem started after I updated to these versions.

This could be another case where ACES mode is enabled in 3ds Max color management options and additionally there is an ACES OT operator in the VFB tone mapping stack.
