It helps to switch gamma in Normal Bump to prevent VRay render crash
( when merged models came with automatic gamma in Normal Map)

Normal Bump for VRay Render should be Override 1.0
VRay Normal Map -
recomended - Override 1.0

Re: Corona Normal Map

Hi,

I did a quick test with the new Corona and can't find any problem with recognizing maps.

Could you send me some scene to test it. Best to [email protected]
Let me know which maps are not recognized by Gamma Organizer and which version of Gamma organizer do you use.

Best,

Corona Normal Map (lite version)

Hi there, I love this script, in recent versions I think that Corona changed the structure name for many maps, the script cant recognize any Normal map, hope there is a posibbility to change this.

Strange thing happened with path of bitmap (Lite version)?

Problem: I use this Gamma script for Populate people in 3ds max.

After I user Gamma Organizer (Lite) apply Override all selected bitmaps to 1, the paths were changed to local sub-folder in my PC. Before that I have all path (assets path) all set to server network shared folder.

If I run your Gamma script, get all the paths changed, I'd again set all changed path to network location. But after setpath, all bitmap input-gamma came back to Automatic. If I go a step further and apply override to 1 again, the path all change to local folder again... That's a loop, can't find work around this for render scene in backburner (wrong path make populate people display white without any texture).

So it's by design in Lite version or something wrong going on here?

Thanks Pixamoon for Lite/free version of this tool

Gamma set override bitmaps works very well. Thanks a lot Pixamoon. Great works. More often than not, when I search for something, that script already wrote by Pixamoon. Quanity or scripts from your desk is high, so is the quality!
