This page provides information on using the Corona Color Picker with Corona for 3ds Max.
Overview
Corona comes with its own color picker that offers several enhancements over the native 3ds Max one:
- Change the color based on Temperature.
- Pick a color from anywhere on the screen using the Pick Color icon by sampling either a single pixel or by getting the average color from a square sample of various sizes.
- Pick an inverse color using the Pick Inverse icon. This is useful for example to adjust white balance of an image by setting a custom color tint in the VFB.
- Choose the scale you wish to use for adjusting colors, either 0-255, 0-1, or 0-100%.
- Enable sRGB mode for compatibility with Photoshop, which allows you to copy and paste numerical values directly from Photoshop and similar applications. This is on by default. When Linear space selected, the color picker works the same way as the native 3ds Max color picker.
- Starting from Corona 11, when using a custom rendering color space in 3ds Max 2024 or newer, the Corona Color Picker allows picking colors in that space.
Еnable Color Picker for all color-picking actions
The Corona Color Picker can also be set in 3ds Max preferences for all color-picking actions.
To enable it, go to Customize > Preferences > General tab and under UI Display > Color Selector, choose Corona Improved Picker from the dropdown list.
