After rendering the scene with pseudo color, 3ds Max displays a rendered
frame window
on page 5885 labeled “Illuminance,” with a legend of illuminance
values below the rendered image.
NOTE The Illuminance frame is not displayed if antialiasing is turned off.
NOTE You can use the Pseudo Color exposure control with the mental ray renderer
on page 6039 .
Pseudo color exposure of a scene with radiosity. Areas in red are overlit, areas in blue
are underlit, and areas in green have a good lighting level.
In the rendered frame window labeled “illuminance,” a legend appears below
the image.
If you render a scene using this exposure control, the software creates a special
render element on page 6157 named Illuminance that helps obtain accurate
luminance and illuminance data.
TIP If you get a file write error when you try to render a pseudo color image,
check the path and file name of the Illuminance element, or the permissions of
the PNG file that saves the illuminance data.
