I was wondering if it would be a possible feature within the Material Editor when using a VrayMtl for the Max, Min & Mean values of any grayscale map
to be given perhaps in the maps rollout itself.
For instance a bitmap used for reflection is imported into 3dsmax with gamma correction, it is then possibly altered using the color correction map
and then possibly watered down using a percentage of the color value in the reflection slot. I've then lost track of a rough value for the reflection overall
that I might be familiar with so I guess I'm wishing for a button that could calculate the final numeric value range used in the render (i.e. reflectivity Max - 0.8, Min - 0.5, Mean 0.68 )
It would be useful when using maps in the glossiness slot for determining subdivision values that we would be used to assigning based on a numeric glossiness value.
It could also be used to determine some sort of physical value (or the illusion of the physical displacement given) by bump maps couldn't it?
I don't know if this would be very tricky to implement, or even if it's Vray's territory (as oppose to Autodesk's) but just think it would be very useful!
