Description

Hi!

I'm using a Macbook Pro M2 Max and by default, the Reflection Coverage is set to None in the viewer when using the Mid graphics settings and lower.

Since this is the default configuration, I think the settings should be at least set to Manual Only on this level of graphics, otherwise the blue tint really messes up with the scene.

I'm using the default new PBR midday environment.

Note: On Windows viewer, the setting is not set to None at the same level of graphics.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the report. Start by locating the viewer's Reflection Coverage defaults for Mid graphics and below, then compare Mac Silicon with Windows using the default new PBR midday environment; done means Mac Silicon uses Manual Only rather than None and avoids the reported blue tint.
