Title: Configuration to set HSV values independently
Post by: toyo26 on 2025-08-23, 16:01:43

Hello, due to some problems with my computer, I recently had to reinstall 3ds Max and Corona. I was unable to save my previous settings.

Now, in the color picker, the values for hue, saturation, and brightness are linked together when I want to change them. Previously, I was able to change these values independently of each other.

What do I need to configure to return to this setting?

previously when I select the base color to change it in any corona material the color selector used to look like this, those values look like they are lock.

Hi,

Probably you were using gamma workflow and now OCIO is by default. Just click on scene next to display and you should be able to type there. Also, you can change to Gamma workflow in Color Management settings.

Hope this helps.

I used to use the gamma workflow 2.2. I've already made sure it was set up again, but the only thing I've seen so far to get the color picker working like before is to set the color management to “Unmanaged.” But that causes the colors and everything else to be off.

The picker in your screenshot is the default 3ds Max one. Perhaps what you need is the Corona Color Picker? You can enable it in Customize > Preferences > Color selector.
HSV seems to be working correctly in both pickers anyway.
