V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max General

Hi there,

We recently switch to max 2025 and also made the switch to ACES since max 2025 is default to ocio aces workflow without the hassle of changing all the texture/hdri/map etc to the right color space which max now does it.

My question is about the vray color mangement , this box need to be ACEScg right (see image below red circle) ? when i switch to the default ocio color management (see image below) it greys out the vray color management section not letting me change it , my guess is 3ds max is overriding the color management thus not letting us change it.

TLDR - use OCIO 3ds max default and make sure the vray color management box is greyed out with ACEScg ? am i correct , this is the proper workflow for aces in 3ds max 2025?​​

Yes, the Color management options in the V-Ray Settings are synced with the 3ds Max ones, hence why the first are greyed out.
