.SH DESCRIPTION |
16 |
.I Rtpict |
17 |
is a script that generates a picture from the RADIANCE scene given in |
18 |
.I octree |
19 |
and sends it to the standard output, or to a file specified with the |
20 |
.I \-o |
21 |
option. |
22 |
Most options and defaults are the same as |
23 |
.I rpict(1), |
24 |
although a few switches are silently ignored. |
25 |
Options incompatible with multi-processing can generate an error. |
26 |
.PP |
27 |
The |
28 |
.I rtrace(1) |
29 |
tool is called with |
30 |
.I vwrays(1) |
31 |
to perform the actual work. |
32 |
This enables the |
33 |
.I \-n |
34 |
option for multiprocessing on platforms that support it. |
35 |
If the |
36 |
.I \-n |
37 |
option is not specified or is set to 1, then |
38 |
.I rpict |
39 |
is called directly. |
40 |
There is no benefit in setting the number of processes to anything |
41 |
greater than the number of virtual cores available on your machine. |
42 |
Also, it is very important to set the |
43 |
.I \-af |
44 |
option if an irradiance cache is being generated; |
45 |
otherwise, your speed-up will be far from linear. |
46 |
.SH EXAMPLE |
47 |
To render a scene with four processes: |
48 |
.IP "" .2i |
49 |
rtpict -n 4 -vf mypers.vf -ab 1 -af scene.amb scene.oct > scene_pers.hdr |
