Try to change the display to 8bit.
So much i remember, you can do it in the color management under the preferences.
Haven´t a licens for 2015, so i can´t check it now.

Сolor management did not help or I do not understand how to change it. Also I final rendered picture in EXR and it is white, but on compositing find color information.
While testing xsi2013. New texture projection system great and very quickly for using

I wait for my 2015 license to test it. Without it, i can´t give you a help.
Think it have something to do with the bit depth which Softimage requested for the preview window.
I can test it with 2013 but because it is difference, i want to test it in 2015.
Sorry for that trouble,

Thank you
I think i have found the problem. I define different bit depths, which are 8, 16 and 32bit.
The 32bit isn´t used. On 2013 and 2014, which i use to test, all works fine because the standard is 8bit and you can switch it to 16bit over the color management.
Maybe on 2015 the highest bit depth is used, which will be the defined but unused 32bit.
Have disabled it now and hope it works.
To test, you can download the plugin dll and replace it with the one in the addon directory.
If it works, i will update the addon in the first post.
