how to change output gamma in 3ds max 2015?

[stayinwonderland]

So they took away the ability to change the output gamma in max 2015.

 

Just using Vray which is set to 2.2, looks fine in the VFB but when I save it's really bright.

 

What's the workflow I should be using?

please help, desperate. The CurrentDefaults.ini doesn't do anything when changed to 1.0 and saved.

thanks, will have a read of that.

 

such a shame they got rid of this. I had a mess around which resulted in more or less the right 'kind' of gamma, but the result of the whole scene had a subtle change in light quality. Not good.

i think entering "fileOutGamma=1.0" in the maxscript listener before saving should work

yeah I did see that elsewhere, worked like a charm!
