I usually just create a render layer with a material override. With the material, I connect a ramp to it's incandescence, with a planar projection node. I scale the projection node to the scale of the scene/object, and change the ramp to black to white. This allows me to see the zDepth in the viewport.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
