V-Ray supports the Lighting analysis render elements, so that part works fine. Other parts of the Exposure feature are designed exclusively for mental ray (they don't work with the scanline renderer either). There is no way for us to hook into that, even though V-Ray can provide all required data.

So does that mean the realtime lighting analysis on this link http://area.autodesk.com/index.php/b...x_design_2010/ will work with vray lights, sky, and sun?

I've been in the camp from the very beginning that I don't understand why photoshop and illustrator are seperate programs. Just take photoshop, make two layer types, a raster and a vector layer type (which has kind-of been added to photoshop), add all the vector editing tools from illustrator and walla!! You have one killer program. Greed is the only reason we have a photoshop AND an illustrator.

So true, that is exactly how fireworks ehmmm works, though I don't know how powerfull it is...

It does work, but only to some extent. Autodesk does not provide the API to fully utilize these features to 3rd parties.

Also, just as a note, this feature only relates to direct lighting. Indirect lighting (including skylight illumination) is not considered.
