Thank you! After playing around a lot I did get something similar to that (though not as concise).
I'm actually trying to get the amount of light that is falling on the surface, not necessarily the brightness based on the texture. (that's what I meant by brightness, I can see I was very unclear).
Initially I was thinking I could base it off the angle between the direct lighting and the surface normal. So if the sun was right behind me, and the landscape it was hitting had a surface normal pointing right back at me I would consider that brightly lit. If the surface normal was pointed 45 degrees away from me, that would be halfway lit, etc. I thought that might be a rough estimation. Besides not knowing the math for how to do that, it doesn't take into account shadows though.

I don't know if this would work for you.

Is there any way to get the brightness of an object (terrain)? I see some function like get diffuse color and get final color, but I can't seem to make them do anything.
As an example, can I make a shader that when the brightness is 0.5 and below it will be black and 0.55 and above it will be white?

Hey guys,
The website was down for a bit. We are still in the process of bringing everything back online. There may be some issues with license checks and downloads until this is resolved. Your licenses are fine, we just need to get all the systems back online. Thanks for your patience.

Well, It's back up here, but no link for the download? I'll take sides with Raymoh and wait it out...

Similar here: After renewing my license without any problems in mid-May, I suddenly receive a message today that my license has expired since 2021 (!).
Planetside probably has a data issue. I'll just wait...
