Pseudo-Color Visualization
You use a pseudo-color representation to visualize
the luminance or illuminance of your model.
Lighting Quantities
Use the Quantity list to select an energy visualization
quantity.
Display Modes
Use the Display list to enable energy visualization
modes.
Scale Options
Use the Scale list to select options related to visual-
ization graphing scale.
Select: To:
Luminance Visualize the distribution of light
reflected off of the surfaces.
Illuminance Visualize the distribution of light
incident on the surfaces.
Top: Pseudo-color display of luminance values
using a Linear scale
Bottom: Pseudo-color display of luminance values
using a Logarithmic scale
Select: To:
Normal Turn off pseudo-color (or gray-
scale) visualization.
Color Display the lighting distribution
using colors ranging from blue to
green, yellow, and red. Low values
are closer to blue and high values
are closer to red.
Gray Scale Display the lighting distribution
using gray levels from black to
white. The higher the value of the
target quantity, the brighter the
color displayed.
Select: To:
Linear Map the target quantity to display
colors using a linear scale. This is
the default setting.
Logarithmic Map the target quantity to display
colors using a logarithmic scale.
This is useful when the illumina-
tion of the surfaces of interest is
low compared to the maximum il-
lumination in the scene.
