Burnt background while using vray

[Lee Eagle]

Hi all,

 

I built a room in max and placed a landscape image in the Environment Map slot, but everytime I render the image seems as though its burnt..does anyone have an idea why this is happenning?

 

Any help would be great

Try unchecking "Affect Background" into Color Mapping rollout.

 

Good luck!

Hey dagor,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

I am using 1.5RC3

didnt use a phiscamera. only 1 vray light and 1 directional light

I tried the gamma correcton - didnt solve the problem...

Can you please explain what you meant when you stated: "exposeure control"? I am a newbie to max and vray...

[dagor]

i mean exposeure control from max enviromen dialog.

I never use it, but as i see some people from this forum use it. So i realy don`t know if it can affet background image i`ll test it some later.

 

Back to your problem, try next.

reset max. add image in enviroment and render it. Is it burnet or not?

I`ll never had burnet images on enviroment. Where you use it in max enviroment or in vray enviromet? Image can be burned if you:

1. put it in vray enviroment slot and set multiplier more than 1

2. change output amount or cureve in bitmap.

3. something else, don`t know right now.

 

so try make it in new scene without change.
