Hello all,
<br>
<br>
We have developed the first version of a simple tool called RadSunpath.<br>
<br>
The idea is to take a Radiance geometry, set a location and run the
program to calculate the images for the path of the sun and shadows
over the project.<br>
All of this can also be done by scripting but some may like graphical
tools :-)<br>
<br>
Results is an animated gif showing the sun path and shadows on the
project. <br>
<br>
That animated gif can be easily explored within RadSunpath or later
with AnimGifViewer (another tool that we just finished available at the
same address).<br>
<br>
We also developped, with the help of Thomas Bleicher, a SketchUp
plugin that is compatible su2rad plugin. Once exported with su2rad,
project is automatically loaded in RadSunPath plugin and you can run
calculations easily.<br>
<br>
All are mainly written in Python and have been tested on Linux and
Windows.<br>
<br>
It uses some Radiance programs from Greg's original distribution on
Linux and Francesco's binaries on Windows, thanks again to them.<br>
<br>
It is released under GPL license so feel free to use it. We'd like very
much to have your feedback at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:radsunpath@deluminaelab.com">radsunpath@deluminaelab.com</a><br>
<br>
It is available at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

<br>
<br>
We hope you'll like it.
