Stupid Max Material Bug

Uly

Simply put, all my materials are "hella bright", regardless of what scene I put anything in. Brand new scene? Super bright! The materials have the same values as the regular grey blinns, but have a much more 'incandescent' appearance in their thumbnails, and in the viewport.

If I can't fix it by Sunday, I'll probably just reinstall. Just wondering if anybody else has had this.

Check your environment (press 8): Tint should be White and Level 1.0, and Ambient should be Black.

Also make sure Object Properties -> Vertex Channel Display is unchecked.

Thanks professor. It was my ambient setting.
