AColorManager earns its place in the ScriptSpot library as part of the broader AvizStudioTools AIO App suite, with its v2.00 sRGB-to-ACEScg conversion available under subscription.
AColorManager is one of the tools included in the AvizStudioTools collection for 3ds Max, alongside ATiles, ATree3D, A2Dimage, ASnapshots, ASmartObjects, AImagine, and AHelper. It runs within a shared interface that shows the tool name and currently loaded version, a short tool description, and a version drop-down for selecting from the available versions. A load button loads the selected version, an open button opens the loaded version, and a help link points to the tool's webpage with details on its functionality and parameters.
The interface uses status indicators: a blue dot signals that the loaded version is not the latest available, while a red dot indicates the current version is either not loaded or can only be used with an active subscription. Version 2.00 introduces conversion of V-Ray scenes from sRGB to ACEScg. This version is only available with a subscription for the AvizStudioTools - AIO App.
Installation is handled through the Autodesk App Store or the basic AIO App Installer. After running the installer, restart 3ds Max and access the tool from the App Store menu under the AvizStudioTools sub-menu.
AvizStudioTools - AColorManager is best for 3ds Max users working with V-Ray who need to convert scenes from sRGB to ACEScg within the AvizStudioTools suite.
AvizStudioTools - AColorManager is completely free to download and use.
AColorManager is compatible with 3ds Max 2018 or later, so it runs on that release and newer versions. It is part of the AvizStudioTools suite and installs through the Autodesk App Store or the basic AIO App Installer. After installation, you restart 3ds Max and find it in the App Store menu under the AvizStudioTools sub-menu. If you are on an earlier release of 3ds Max, you would need to upgrade to meet the stated minimum requirement before using the tool.
AColorManager can be downloaded from the Autodesk App Store, or you can use the basic AIO App Installer. Run the installer and follow the instructions, then start or restart 3ds Max. Once 3ds Max is running, open the 3ds Max App Store menu and select the AvizStudioTools sub-menu to access the tool. Within the interface, a version drop-down lets you select an available version, a load button loads it, and an open button opens the loaded version.
AColorManager v2.00 adds conversion of V-Ray scenes from sRGB to ACEScg, but this version is only available with a subscription for the AvizStudioTools - AIO App. The interface reflects subscription status through its version indicators: a red dot shows that the current version is either not loaded or can only be used with an active subscription. For current licensing and download links, see the developer's page for the AvizStudioTools - AIO App.
AColorManager displays status dots next to its version information. A blue dot indicates that the loaded version is not the latest available version, signalling that a newer release exists. A red dot indicates that the current version is either not loaded or can only be used with an active subscription. Alongside these, the interface shows the tool name and version label, a brief tool description, a version drop-down, and a help link to the tool's webpage for details on functionality and parameters.
