Go to Customize > Preferences > Gamma and LUT. It's worth noting that you can render in linear space in V-Ray without touching these setting at all, but you won't be able to use the Material Editor thumbnails to accurately tune your shaders. We do this step in order to set up the Material Editor to render its thumbnails with linear workflow so that we get an accurate representation of what materials in our render will look like. Note that V-Ray will ignore all of the Gamma settings in the 3ds Max dialog. Setting up 3ds MaxĪs well as the image itself, textures and materials also need to be correctly converted to Gamma 2.2. ![]() This all adds to the amount of calculations being made by the renderer for no real reason, as all of the data is in fact already there, providing you tell the program to show it to you correctly. Things like adding more lights, boosting the Environment/GI levels to incredibly high values, adding some ambient lights with shadows turned off, etc. Unfortunately this has always been the case with 3D rendering, which means that many artists who don't know about linear workflow learn to light scenes by using a handful of tricks to try and get results you'd expect in real life. The program just assumes that you are viewing the image with Gamma set to 1.0, instead of 2.2, until you tell it otherwise. V-Ray and 3ds Max process the data in which to make an image in "linear space", also known as Gamma 1.0, but by default all monitors show you the image with a Gamma of 2.2 (sRGB), which basically makes the image look dark, although it actually isn't dark at all. What is the difference between the image on the left and the image on the right? The truth is nothing at all, except the way your monitor is showing you the image. I would like to thank my mates Ben Cowell and Phil Shoebottom for offering some clarity on a few points. I realized that there were all sorts of tutorials offering often conflicting information regarding the process. This has been the subject of discussions on many forums over recent years. ![]()
