New Color Picker for Max (Free)

Chris Johnson · June 14th, 2005

Hi all.

I don't post much around here cause I'm pretty busy usually. But I always drop in for news.

But anyways, I just quickly wanted to add that I have updated a fantasticly cool color picker for 3ds Max. You can find it here:

http://www.idigitalhouse.com/Tech/dh_tech.html

You will have to scroll down to the bottom of the page.

The big improvement is additional for floating point color spaces. If you select a color from say a mental ray material, then the mode will change from 8 bit colors / channel to floating point, with colors clamped at 1.0.
