scanner positions. These are 145 patches with identical |
2684 |
|
row counts to Tregenza, but starting from a different |
2685 |
|
azimuth and reversing row directions at adjacent altitudes. |
2686 |
+ |
|
2687 |
+ |
Added optimization for long argument lists and arrays in |
2688 |
+ |
the calcomp routines used for rendering and in rcalc, etc. |
2689 |
+ |
|
2690 |
+ |
Added error estimate spreading to ambient super-sampling |
2691 |
+ |
algorithm (-as) to improve performance especially in |
2692 |
+ |
scenes with sharp cut-offs. |
2693 |
+ |
|
2694 |
+ |
Added -i option to gendaymtx to match -i option of gendaylit. |
2695 |
+ |
Thanks to Yongqing for initial implementation. |
2696 |
+ |
|
2697 |
+ |
Changed rcrop so negative #rows or #cols counts back from end. |
2698 |
+ |
|
2699 |
+ |
Added rcomb -n option for multi-processing of very large matrices. |
2700 |
+ |
|
2701 |
+ |
Made it so rsplit and rlam can handle any number of input files |
2702 |
+ |
up to active open file descriptor limit. |
2703 |

2704 |
+ |
Taoning Wang added genssky tool for generating spectral sky |
2705 |
+ |
descriptions. |
2706 |
+ |
|
2707 |
+ |
Taoning added gensdaymtx utility based on gendaymtx, and |
2708 |
+ |
added epw2wea -a option to include required information. |

Fixed bug introduced in Auguest 2022 (5.4 release) in distant |
2711 |
+ |
light source sampling, which caused aiming failures. (Thanks |
2712 |
+ |
to Mike DiPompeo of LightStanza for reporting the issue.) |
2713 |
+ |
|
2714 |
+ |
Added rxpict rendering tool based on C++ RpictSimulManager class. |
2715 |
+ |
Multi-processing and spectral output are supported. |
2716 |
+ |
|
2717 |
+ |
Added crude ability to read and convert spectra to RGB in ximage, |
2718 |
+ |
ra_bmp, and ra_rgbe programs. Also updated fast tone-mapping |
2719 |
+ |
library to handle spectral HSR inputs at the same time. HSR |
2720 |
+ |
input handling was added in a similar fashion to pcond and pvalue. |
2721 |
+ |
|
2722 |
+ |
Wrote rxpiece tool that will render pictures using tiling and |
2723 |
+ |
can handle different output formats and hyperspectral pictures. |
2724 |
+ |
Only runs on a single machine, however -- now NFS locking on |
2725 |
+ |
shared volumes. Mainly a demonstration tool for RpictSimulManager |
2726 |
+ |
C++ class, but may have its uses. |
2727 |
+ |
|
2728 |
+ |
Fixed a bug in BSDF sampling of sources pointed out by |
2729 |
+ |
David Geisler-Moroder, which tended to overestimate specular |
2730 |
+ |
contributions for some BSDFs. |
2731 |
+ |
|
2732 |
+ |
Added handling of hyperspectral pictures to pextrem, though |
2733 |
+ |
results are still reported in RGB. |
2734 |
+ |
|
2735 |
+ |
Added conversion of hyperspectral pictures to ra_xyze, although |
2736 |
+ |
it is even slower than rcomb for this process. It is more |
2737 |
+ |
accurate than most of the other tools, at least. |
2738 |
+ |
|
2739 |
+ |
Added handling of hyperspectral images to normtiff, a little-used |
2740 |
+ |
but handy program for quickly tone-mapping pictures and TIFFs. |
