The spheres in the material editor turned white from grey!

[Victor1423]

Why is that? Does it affect the materials? How can i change it back?

 

I installed a plugin and the moment i opened Max and opened the material editor i saw the change and i just want to ask the above questions just to make sure nothings wrong and if there is something wrong how to fix it!

 

Thank you!

Do this:

 

- open 3ds max

- open the material editor and the environment window (Rendering Menu - Environment)

- Check to see if you mistakenly set the Ambient Color Slot to white

- Set the ambient color slot to black

- Check to see that the material editor is back to normal

- Party!

- Come here and tell me if that did the trick

Thanks Michael, it worked for me, had the same problem.

In addition to that, check if the gamma got changed to a higher value, like say 2.2 from 1 or something of that scale (which you should have manually changed in the first place when started using max , and then check putting some material in the editor and render it applied to something in a scene. If the end's good everything else is.
