ColorCorrection

[glorybound]

Does anybody have a 2017 ColorCorrection? I don't think it has been updated for several years, still worked in 2016, but not in 2017.

The builtin 3dsmax one is much better than the plugin version.

I thought it was the other way around? Is there a script to convert old scenes?

[glorybound]

I'll try this, although it is really old.

"Colorcorrect" is the old plugin "Color Correction" is the built-in one

Okay, than the script sounds like it'll work.

It seems a little limited IMO. I realize it's not an exact 1:1 correlation between the two color correct maps but the script only converts a few of the values into the new map. I'm also not sure on some of the conversions they are doing: how does the HSL saturation values get converted using

mcc_sat=m.hsl_sat_off/1.32+(m.hsl_sat_gain-100)/2.66  .....(why do the two values get added together??)

To me it seems a better conversion would be

mcc_sat=(100+m.hsl_sat_off)*((m.hsl_sat_gain-100)/100)   .....first the value will get offset and then multiplied by the gain

I'm working on trying to expand it's scope a bit and test some of the alternate conversions.

I don't go back to old projects to often, so personally, I'm okay. I'm sure some will be looking for a way to convert,

It seems that the 3ds max color correction Advanced settings are broken a bit.... If you try to adjust the Lift/Offset of the green channel it does nothing. Weirdly though, if the green channel is enabled, the RGB Lift/Offset seems to affect all of the channels plus the green channel again (the bitmap gets both brighter and a touch green). Trying it with any other channel works as expected though. Sadly, this kind of breaks the ability to replicate the Color Correct plugin. Can anyone else confirm the behavior of the Color Correction map is broken?
