3d max vray diffuse map issue

Pshk · Dec 2017

Hello everyone!

I hope you can help me with the issue I am struggling with for some time already.

I have a simple model with simple materials set up. Normal map is backed adequately but when I try to bake VRayDiffuseFilterMap or VRayCompleteMap in preview strange darkening appears http://joxi.ru/YmE3ex7TZz6DPA and in the final file everything is too darkhttp://joxi.ru/8AnbDeyCqGx8eA .

When I turn on irradiance map in global illumination then the model is backed more of less ok but st the end I again get darkening....3smax2018 vray 3.6

It would be great if you could advice me what probably I do wrong and how that can be fixed. Thank you in advance!

Did you read & follow the documentation?

If Enable Gamma/LUT Correction is not enabled in the 3ds Max Preference Settings Gamma and LUT tab, then the exported maps may render too dark.
