I’m experiencing a problem with every single Blender version I’ve used with multiple pc’s. I can’t be the only one, yet, I can’t find anything about it (or I’m not searching with the correct keywords…).
Often, when opening a Blender file, my textures are messed up. They appear way too bright. First I thought it was a specific plugin (Botaniq), but later I noticed it’s not just with plugins, also with other files.
Here a GIF with multiple attempts to “fix” the problem for the Botaniq plugin:
The only way of “fixing” it, seems to go to the texture editor and click browse image button and go through all of them until a preview is made of all of these images, which suggests it’s a loading issue. It doesn’t work perfect, sometimes it still seems to “forget” the images.
Anybody else experienced this problem and know how to actually fix it?
Great chances are that it’s a bug, probably related to your setup.
Just to be sure, try with loading default settings so we make sure it’s not an addon ( quite unlikely )… Are you using a custom OCIO config, like Aces, Agx ?
Try also with a 4.0 or 3.62 release to make sure the issue isn’t already fixed.
You can also try to render with Cycles CPU to see if that’s an Eevee / display issue, in that case make sure you’re using the latest drivers for your GPU.
Then the next step is to create a basic scene that doesn’t work, ideally with public domain images so it’s easier to share publicly.
Is this happening every time ? is only one image enough to create the issue ? Is the issue related to a specific version, like it worked on say 3.1 and now with 3.5 it’s not anymore…
What are your computer / graphic card specs ?
Try to make a simple scene that doesn’t work that you can share here , so maybe someone with the same computer specs can confirm the issue, then you are good to fill a bug report
