[Radiance-general] "Sensor Surfaces"

[Thomas Bleicher]

Hi Achim.

Radzilla has a 'falsecolor' material you could use.

With the standard Radiance you could use John Mardaljevic's 'stencil'
method to calculate rtrace origin points on the fly. The resolution of
your 'surface' then only depends on the resolution of your output
image. More details here:
