Something strange is going on. I render on my machine and it looks fine, however, when someone else renders it out on their machine, it’s dark. I converted the scene to a Corona scene, and it rendered dark, like when it was rendered on the other person’s machine. MAX gamma is 2.2 and so is V-Ray and…

Check their “fileoutgamma” in the maxscript listener - it’s not set by the max gamma value rather stupidly.

[image] HDR Sets: HDR panoramas, HDR backplates, matched 3D cameras and sIBL compatible Check their “fileoutgamma” in the maxscript listener - it’s not set by the max gamma value rather stupidly. it’s being saved from the VFB as an EXR.

This is a link to how to change the file out gamma in case you were wondering: http://www.cg-blog.com/index.php/2013/06/08/gamma10-max2014.htm

It sounds like maybe it’s not seeing the maps. You might try to update the hdri link in the map/material instead of the asset tracker.
