Why we like it

A focused utility that handles VrayMtl color correction node setup and per-object randomization, with compatibility tested on 3ds Max 2023 and 2024.

What is VrayMtl Color Correction?

VrayMtl Color Correction is a script for 3ds Max that adds Color correction nodes to a VrayMtl and lets you tweak their settings. You can apply a correction with any specified values to any selected material slot — Diffuse, Bump, Glossiness, Translucent or Self Illumination — and the existing bitmaps are kept inside the color correct. Every parameter can be changed afterward, so you can add color correction on Diffuse and Bump at default values, then select only the Diffuse to choose a random hue, or select the Bump and Glossiness to set saturation and adjust contrast or gamma.

Randomization is built into each parameter. The randomize option sets a random value on the existing material, so all objects sharing that material receive the new color or bump value. If you need each object to get its own random value, checking "New Materials" creates one material per selected object and scatters the random values across those materials.

Installation follows the standard script method: drag and drop into the viewport, then find it under Customize, Customize User Interface, Toolbar, in the category "SimonScripts".

Who is VrayMtl Color Correction best for?

VrayMtl Color Correction is best for 3ds Max artists working with VrayMtl materials who want to add and randomize color correction across selected material slots and objects.

How much does VrayMtl Color Correction cost?

VrayMtl Color Correction is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Which 3ds Max versions does VrayMtl Color Correction support?

VrayMtl Color Correction has been tested on 3ds Max 2023 and 2024. It works with VrayMtl materials, adding and tweaking Color correction nodes on their slots. If you run a different 3ds Max version, check the developer's page on ArtStation for any additional compatibility notes before relying on it in a project, since the tested versions are the ones confirmed here.

How do I install VrayMtl Color Correction?

VrayMtl Color Correction installs like any other 3ds Max script: drag and drop it into the viewport. After that, go to Customize, then Customize User Interface, open the Toolbar tab, and look under the category named "SimonScripts" to find the script and add it to your interface. From there you can place it on a toolbar for quick access whenever you need to add color correction to a VrayMtl.

What does the "New Materials" option do in VrayMtl Color Correction?

VrayMtl Color Correction offers a "New Materials" checkbox that changes how randomization is applied. By default, randomizing sets a random value on the existing material, so all objects assigned that material receive the same new color or bump value. When "New Materials" is checked, the script creates one material per selected object, and the random values are scattered across those materials so each object can get its own random result.

Is VrayMtl Color Correction free to use?

VrayMtl Color Correction is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing terms and any conditions of use, refer to the developer's page on ArtStation. The listed version here is 1.6, which followed a series of updates focused on bug corrections and code clean-up, so checking the developer's link is the best way to confirm the latest status and details.
