.SH DESCRIPTION
|
| 22 |
.I Genbox
|
| 23 |
produces a RADIANCE scene description of a parallelepiped
|
| 24 |
with one corner at the origin and the opposite corner at
|
| 25 |
.I "(xsiz, ysiz, zsiz)."
|
| 26 |
The sides of the box will be parallel to the three coordinate
|
| 27 |
planes.
|
| 28 |
The surfaces that make up the box will be modified by
|
| 29 |
.I mat
|
| 30 |
and their identifiers will begin with
|
| 31 |
.I name.
|
| 32 |
.PP
|
| 33 |
The
|
| 34 |
.I \-i
|
| 35 |
option can be used to produce a box with inward directed surface
|
| 36 |
normals.
|
| 37 |
.PP
|
| 38 |
The
|
| 39 |
.I \-b
|
| 40 |
option can be used to specify the indentation for beveled edges.
|
| 41 |
.PP
|
| 42 |
The
|
| 43 |
.I \-r
|
| 44 |
option can be used to specify the radius for rounded edges, which
|
| 45 |
are normally
|
| 46 |
modeled as cylinders and spheres for non-inverted RADIANCE output.
|
| 47 |
However, this type of model only makes sense for external views of
|
| 48 |
an opaque object.
|
| 49 |
If a rounded box is inverted using
|
| 50 |
.I \-i,
|
| 51 |
then the corners and edges are modeled with polygons, instead.
|
| 52 |
This option can also be forced by specifying a minimum number of
|
| 53 |
segments with the
|
| 54 |
.I \-n
|
| 55 |
option.
|
| 56 |
The
|
| 57 |
.I \-s
|
| 58 |
option controls whether surface normal smoothing is applied as well.
|
| 59 |
.PP
|
| 60 |
The
|
| 61 |
.I \-o
|
| 62 |
option specifies Wavefront .OBJ output, and
|
| 63 |
also forces polygons to be used with the
|
| 64 |
.I \-r
|
| 65 |
option.
|
| 66 |
If the
|
| 67 |
.I \-s
|
| 68 |
option is present, vertex normals are also produced for smooth rendering.
