Vray 2.30.01/3dsmax 2012 Vraycolor gamma setting switching unexpectedly?

V-Ray for 3ds Max V-Ray for 3ds Max :: Issues

I am using a Vraycolor map in a diffuse slot for a scene override to average exposure and for white balance
so my mid displays correctly (128 gets modified down to 55-ish for gamma 2.2)
also using it for other mats.

Ive noticed, or think I have, that it seems to keep switching from “specify” to “3dsmax”
at first I thought I may be accidentally scrolling my mouse over it or the like but
It keeps happening and I have not been able to pin down what may be causing it.

The scene I am currently on does not have any other mats with vraycolor on it only my override mat
and it just happened. Dont know if anyone else may have/be experiencing this.

hmm it may be that I make the mat and use specify
but if I create a new mat with a new vraycolor map it defaults to “3dsmax”
which appears to maybe switch any that exist, still not sure
Its probably just me getting mixed up

Hm, that may be a reason. The “gamma” setting is shared between all instances of the VRayColor texture, so if it is changed in one place, all the other ones are affected. Will make a note to fix this.
