Hi John, > Is there any possibility that I can get the formula for gamma that 3ds uses > so that I can determine the effect it will have on a given color value?

"3ds just uses gamma in the standard way. I would suggest looking at any standard graphics book (e.g. Foley, van Dam, Feiner and Hughes) and look under gamma correction. By the way lighting has nothing to do with it, as the affect happens to the final RGB value."
