The Light Analysis Render Element provides a visual representation of the lighting intensity in the rendered frame. It maps Illuminance and Luminance information as color gradient or a grid of measured values onto the frame.

The Illuminance and Luminance channels are internally created during rendering.  

During the rendering, the Lighting Analysis might display some approximation to the false-color image, but that is not the final result. After the rendering is finished, every parameter change made in the Asset Editor automatically updates the render result in the VFB.

V-Ray for Grasshopper offers a Lighting Analysis Element component. To see more information, see the V-Ray Element Lighting Analysis page.

Quantity – Chooses which lighting information to be analysedanalyzed.

Illuminance (lx) – Uses the Illuminance of the rendered frame in lux.
Luminance (cd) – Uses the Luminance of the rendered frame in candelas.

Minimum Value – Specifies which values are mapped to blue.  

Maximum Value – Specifies which values are mapped to red. 

Scale – Specifies how values are mapped to colors onto the frame. 

Linear – The colors are mapped in linear scale. 
Logarithmic – The colors are mapped in logarithmic scale.  

Display Mode – Specifies the analysed analyzed data display mode. 

False colors –  Fills the frame with a gradient ranging from blue (low values) to red (high values). For the out of range values,it uses respectively black and white.
Grid overlay – Displays the values at distinct grid points over the frame. They use the same grading colors. 

Draw Legend – When enabled, shows a legend of the false colors at the bottom of the render.
