Any RADIANCE material descriptions included via one or more |

options will be compiled and stored in the mesh as well. |

If the |

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. |

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. |

|
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. |
