obj2mesh - create a compiled RADIANCE mesh file from Wavefront .OBJ input |

(or standard output). |
32 |
+ |
Any RADIANCE material descriptions included via one or more |
33 |
+ |
.I \-a |
34 |
+ |
options will be compiled and stored in the mesh as well. |
35 |
+ |
If the |
36 |
+ |
.I \-l |
37 |
+ |
option is used to specify a material file, the RADIANCE library |
38 |
+ |
locations are searched. |
39 |
|
This mesh may be included in a RADIANCE scene description via the |
40 |
|
.I mesh |
41 |
|
primitive, thus: |
50 |
|
.PP |
51 |
|
The syntax and semantics are identical to the RADIANCE |
52 |
|
.I instance |
53 |
< |
primitive, except that the mesh modifier may not be "void", since |
54 |
< |
materials are not included in a compiled mesh file. |

primitive. |
54 |
> |
If |
55 |
> |
.I mod |
56 |
> |
is "void", then the stored mesh materials will be applied during rendering. |
57 |
> |
Otherwise, the given material will be substituted on |
58 |
> |
all the mesh surfaces. |
59 |
|
.PP |
60 |
|
The |
61 |
|
.I \-n |
62 |
|
option specifies the maximum surface set size for |
63 |
|
each voxel. |
64 |
< |
Larger numbers result in quicker mesh generation needing |
65 |
< |
less memory, but potentially slower rendering. |
51 |
< |
Smaller values may produce faster renderings, |
52 |
< |
since the default number (15) is on the high side to reduce |
53 |
< |
the compiled mesh octree size. |
64 |
> |
Larger numbers result in quicker mesh generation, |
65 |
> |
but potentially slower rendering. |
66 |
|
Values below 6 are not recommended, since this is the median |
67 |
|
valence for a mesh vertex (the number of adjacent faces), |
68 |
|
and smaller values will result in pointless octree subdivision. |
69 |
+ |
The default setting is 9. |

Normals will be interpolated over the mesh |
102 |
|
during rendering to produce a smooth surface. |

If no vertex normals are present, the mess will appear tesselated. |

If no vertex normals are present, the mesh will appear tesselated. |
104 |

A zero length normal (i.e., 0 0 0) will generate a syntax error. |

Local coordinates can extend over any desired range of values. |

.BI usemtl " mname" |
113 |
+ |
A material name. |
114 |

The following faces will use the named material, which is |
115 |
+ |
taken from the material definitions in the |
116 |

.I \-a |
117 |

input file(s). |
118 |

.TP |
119 |

.BI g " gname" |
120 |
+ |
Group association. |
121 |
+ |
The following faces are associated with the named group. |
122 |
+ |
If no "usemtl" statement has been |
123 |
+ |
encountered, the current group is used for the surface material |
124 |
+ |
identifier. |
125 |

.TP |
126 |
|
.BI f " v1/t1/n1 v2/t2/n2 v3/t3/n3" " .." |
127 |
|
A polygonal face. |
128 |
|
Polygon vertices are specified as three indices separated |
180 |
|
.IP "Hash table overflow in fullnode" |
181 |
|
This error is caused by too many surfaces, and there is |
182 |
|
little hope of compiling this mesh. |
