[Closed] measure contribution of lights at a point on a surface?

I’m wondering if its possible to take a point on a surface of an object in the viewport, and return the contributing value & colour of lights affecting it (kind of like those light meter-ey things photographers use), allowing for falloff hopefully. I had a quick look in the maxscript manual, but couldnt find anything… Anyone have any suggestions?

go to www.maxplugins.de and do a search for “photometer”.

Last time I looked there was no mxs access to it, however.
