Regression

No

HDR color values set with MaterialPropertBlock.SetColor are incorrect when using Linear Color Space

-

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the “BugCheck” project
2. Open the “MPB_Test” scene
3. Enter Play Mode
4. Open the Frame Debugger Window
5. Open the “DrawOpaqueObjects” → “RenderLoop.Draw” fields
6. Select the “Draw Mesh Cube_Material”
7. Open the “Vectors” Tab in the Frame Debugger
8. Observe the “_HDRColor” vector
9. Observe the “_HDRColor” vector of “Draw Mesh Cube_MPB”

Expected result: The “_HDRColor” vectors have the same values on both cubes
Actual result: The “Draw Mesh Cube_MPB” GameObject has much higher values of “_HDRColor”

Reproducible in: 2022.3.46f1, 6000.0.19f1
Couldn’t test with: 2021.3.43f1 (Frame Debugger has no Vectors Field)

Reproducible on: Windows 11
Not reproducible on: No other environment tested

  1. Resolution Note:

    The reason behind this difference is coming from the difference between how "Material" and "MBP"s are handling color values. The MBP.SetColor considers color value to be always set in sRGB space and is converted to linear if the active color space is linear while this is not the case for Material.SetColor . So basically you need manual updating of the color value if you switch between color spaces. This is a conscious performance-oriented trade-off, and we won't change this behavior. If you want to work around it, just set the animated values in gamma space with the formula:

    gammaRGB = new Color(
    Mathf.Pow(hdrColor.r, 1f / 2.2f),
    Mathf.Pow(hdrColor.g, 1f / 2.2f),
    Mathf.Pow(hdrColor.b, 1f / 2.2f),
    linearColor.a );

    It is not only MaterialPropertyBlock.SetColor, values that setting color with AnimationClip to HDRColor also is incorrect.
