Maps Overview

These types of maps can be generated either from the illuminance or the luminance simulations.

  • Basic maps:

    Maps containing photometric or radiometric data, with no separation by layer.

  • Extended maps:

    Maps containing photometric or radiometric data, with a separation by layer (separated by source, face or sequence).

  • Spectral maps:

    Maps containing colorimetric data (photometric or radiometric) with a separation by layer (separated by source, face or sequence).

  • Spectral maps with spectral data:

    Maps containing colorimetric data (photometric or radiometric), by wavelength and with a separation by layer (separated by source, face or sequence).

Note: For maps with data separated by source, you can fully or partially switch on/off each source and then increase or decrease the contribution of each source on the result. The post-processing on sources is available in the Virtual Photometric Lab and the Human Vision viewer.
