what happens when you set max ray depth back to default?

Hmm that is an interesting idea. Sounds like something an ai might be able to code quite well too.
Ideally there would be a full scene memory report available from corona like the texture memory useage csv, but for materials and geometry.
we'd love to make a simple button script that will load in the 2 x LUTs required to get it working on the selected camera(s).
not so far - just doing it the original old-school way with manually-loaded LUTS on cams.
this looks great, cheers!
Yep, ACES/OCIO is the default in Max 2025 and newer.
So for us it was a case in 2026 of having to switch back to legacy Gamma 2.2 workflow so we continue using AGX and having consistency with old projects.
My main concern is more about why this isn't an advanced option that can be enabled and configured by those who actually need it—instead of being a default setting applied to everyone out of the box.
I’ve been using Corona since the beta days and have always appreciated how easy it is to use while still delivering great results. But small things like this can be frustrating. I can imagine how many new users might struggle to understand why their renders look off or incorrect.
I’ve discovered something odd: if I add a JPG as a background using a Tonemap Control node, disable ACES in the tone mapping settings, and hit render — everything looks correct.
Is there an official or recommended workflow for using the new Color Management system in 3ds Max 2025+ with Corona Renderer 13? I've looked around and find answers that conflict.
I think c4dtomax won't fit your needs. The plugin c4dtomax needs to be updated in near future, the others supports animation (not complex rig)
Hi James.
Thank you again. Still using it daily.
I have a couple of comments.I mentioned this in v4.4, I think to keep the ui clean ill put this in the tooltip.
1- I just recently noticed that Vegetation: settings>Translucent color correct>Brighter leaves checkbox not only changes brightness but also saturation and gamma, which to me was unexpected since the checkbox mentions "brighter" only.
So I wanted to suggest adding the text "change in brightness, saturation and gamma" to make it more clear.
2- I checked your website to see if there was a newer version than the one I have and I was surprised to see that the one you have as the latest is 4.4 while mine says 4.5.
