Terrible blue background while using Physically Based Rendering in 3D

Terrible blue background while using Physically Based Rendering in 3D.

I am using this view a lot. Because it does not have the possibility of turning this, i will not use AC 28.

It disturbs me a lot.

 

Is it possible to turn it off and leave a white background?

 

Even the shade of the celling is blue...

Someone from GS once explained that they deliberately gave this light blue shade to white surfaces, since white doesn't exist in reality, or something like that! I think I remember well, we specifically asked to fix this and to not interfere with the original coloures of the textures. Still nothing. I like the shadows under the furniture and stuff but for now, I am going to drop the feature too. There doesn't seem to be a way of making any adjustments to it...

This is awful! I use quick 3D renderings all the time for my clients, but this blue background is horrible. And, unfortunately, turning off the Physical Rendering option leaves you with less realistic looking textures than the standard 3D window in AC27 - which was a great improvement. I am not going to migrate any more projects to 28 - very disappointing because there seem to be lots of other cool things.
