Hi all,<br><br>I have fixed this same problem, instaling the old Desktop Radiance and copyng from it the <i>rview.exe</i> and <i>winimage.exe</i> files to my new radiance 3.9 binaries folder. It works very fine.<br><br>Take care to install radiance in a folder with a name without spaces, itīs sound silly but itīs important!<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I have just uninstalled Desktop Radiance and installed the MinGW version on<br>
my computer (Windows OS). I have been informed that this is the latest<br>
version of Radiance for Windows OS. Unfortunately I now have trouble reading<br>
images exported from Ecotect.<br>
<br>
When I export the Ecotect example file "RADIANCE_example.eco" I am able to<br>
see a rendered view of the space in the image viewer, but I cannot run any<br>
of the options for the information overlay (e.g. contour lines, false color,<br>
daylight factors etc.) and get the message "RGBE read error"<br>
When exporting the file from Ecotect, I noticed that when checking whether<br>
Radiance is functional, the exporter returned a message saying that the<br>
application "rview" is missing from the directory. Could this be the<br>
problem? If so, what are alternative ways for evaluating the radiance image?<br>
<br>
I have uploaded an image of the error message to the Autodesk discussion<br>
forum:<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
the subject-line of this mail is not very helpful. What kind of file do<br>
you want to export from Ecotect? I try to understand what you wrote, and<br>
it seams that you want to use the image processing tools of Radiance on<br>
images generated in Ecotect, is this the case? I also do not know which<br>
"image viewer" you refer to, the only image viewer in Radiance that I am<br>
aware of is ximage, and it offers no such things like your information<br>
overlay functionality, as this is done by filters in Radiance. So I<br>
guess you are using other software here, not Radiance.<br>
<br>
Can you please find out some details about what kind of data you want to<br>
process using which Radiance tools?<br>
<br>
Good luck, Lars.<br>
<br>
<br>

Unfortunately 'falsecolor' (which is the master tool behind most<br>
of these overlays) is not distributed with the MinGW binaries<br>
because it is a CSH-script that does not run on Windows. Therefore<br>
the ImageViewer bundled with Ecotect can not generate this type<br>
of analysis.<br>
<br>
There is another picture viewer around which is based on<br>
Python and that seems to be the best option to create<br>
falsecolor images on Windows at the moment:<br>
<br>
Raddisplay - <a href="http://www.deluminaelab.com/en/tools.html" target="_blank">http://www.deluminaelab.com/en/tools.html</a><br>
<br>
It requires some time to setup, though.<br>

<br>
The application 'rview' is now called 'rvu' and AFAIK it has<br>
not been ported to Windows.<br>
<br>
<br>
There have been some significant changes to the Radiance<br>
applications since Desktop Radiance has been released. This<br>
affects mostly the rendering process, though. The image format<br>
is still the same and you should be able to open a 'new'<br>
image in the old 'rview'. You could try to copy the missing<br>
applications from your DR installation over to the MinGW<br>
installation and see if that solves your problem.<br>
<br>

Thomas<br>
