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: |
| 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. |
| 60 |
< |
Smaller values may produce faster renderings, |
| 61 |
< |
since the default number (15) is on the high side to reduce |
| 62 |
< |
the compiled mesh octree size. |
| 64 |
> |

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. |
