[Max] General Discussion / Re: CoronaColor Map - no checkbox for linear?
« on: 2024-02-15, 04:17:44 »It is still there, Solid HDR just lets you have above 1.0 (0-255) values as well.
RGB 255, 255, 255 would be 1.0 1.0 1.0 in HDR. Give it a try and see if it comes out correct for you.
Hey mate,
Thanks for getting back to me, and I get that, but then I have to go and figure out what each value is, just another annoying step in the process when all i had to do previously is check a box...
Most paint and other building related color companies provide the standard 255,255,255 rgb values for their colours not HDR 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 values... so it's frustrating, especially when colour selection is a massive component of what we do.
This adds the needed nuance, your case is more clear now.
Yes, as Romullus mentioned, when selecting a color with CoronaColor picker, you can specify if it is in sRGB or Linear. The values for selected color convert automatically.
This is also possible (as I tried and understood to some degree) with default color picker, with Scene or Display reference and conversion.
I didn't know about the corona colour picker, thats definitely an improvement on the standard one and I can get the result i want.
Thanks for your help!
