Lighting Analysis Update

[py_temp]

For lighting analysis, we need to use mental ray. But now NVIDIA terminate its development and Autodesk acquire arnold as main renderer. Therefore lighting analysis need to be updated accordingly. Otherwise, it's useless features.

I recently checked the version 2019. did the function of lighting analysis disappear from the menu?

I also found that the help pages about lighting analysis are deleted.

(They are visible on the result of page search, but pages themselves are not available.)

To use the existing model and settings for lighting analysis, is using an old version the only solution?

Hi @py_temp , @Anonymous, Light Analysis has been very difficult to be used. Autodesk is now working wih V-ray to get the function up and running but it is difficult to get the materials read correctly. 

And you will have to get a subscription of Vray to use that function. I cannot understand with one of their Flagship product, why can't Autodesk make their own rendering engine and put it together as a nice user friendly package.
