|
Minor change to rcollate to allow explicit byte records to |
2680 |
|
be any specified length without checks against header input. |
2681 |
+ |
|
2682 |
+ |
Added new hemisphere type to rfluxmtx, "h=cie" for CIE sky |
2683 |
+ |
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. |
2709 |
+ |
|
2710 |
+ |
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 |
+ |
Wrote rxpiece tool that will render pictures using tiling and |
2718 |
+ |
can handle different output formats and hyperspectral pictures. |
2719 |
+ |
Only runs on a single machine, however -- no NFS locking on |
2720 |
+ |
shared volumes. Mainly a demonstration tool for RpictSimulManager |
2721 |
+ |
C++ class, but may have its uses. |
2722 |
+ |
|
2723 |
+ |
Fixed a bug in BSDF sampling of sources pointed out by |
2724 |
+ |
David Geisler-Moroder, which tended to overestimate specular |
2725 |
+ |
contributions for some BSDFs. |
2726 |
+ |
|
2727 |
+ |
Added crude ability to read and convert spectra to RGB in ximage, |
2728 |
+ |
ra_bmp, ra_ps, and ra_rgbe programs. Also updated fast tone-mapping |
2729 |
+ |
library to handle spectral HSR inputs at the same time. HSR |
2730 |
+ |
input handling was added in a similar fashion to pcond and pvalue |
2731 |
+ |
for convenience. |
2732 |
+ |
|
2733 |
+ |
Added handling of hyperspectral images to normtiff, a handy program |
2734 |
+ |
for quickly tone-mapping Radiance RGBE, XYZE, and now hyperspectral |
2735 |
+ |
pictures, as well as IEEE float or LogLuv TIFFs. |
2736 |
+ |
|
2737 |
+ |
Added handling of hyperspectral pictures to pextrem, though |
2738 |
+ |
results are still reported in RGB. |
2739 |
+ |
|
2740 |
+ |
Added accurate conversion of hyperspectral pictures to ra_xyze. |
2741 |
+ |
|
2742 |
+ |
Added hyperspectral picture conversion to ra_tiff, with accurate |
2743 |
+ |
color when targeting 16-bit/comp., LogLuv, and float utput, |
2744 |
+ |
and the approximate method for 24-bit RGB. |
2745 |
+ |
|
2746 |
+ |
Taoning added genssky -L option to specify global and diffuse |
2747 |
+ |
illuminance values for output calibration. |
2748 |
+ |
|
2749 |
+ |
Created C++ class for rcontrib and example tool rxcontrib, which |
2750 |
+ |
is an optional compile in the src/rt directory. The output |
2751 |
+ |
model is more general in some respects and the operations more |
2752 |
+ |
efficient, but standard output is not supported, nor is ASCII |
2753 |
+ |
results data. |
2754 |
+ |
|
2755 |
+ |
Added strnstr.c compatibility module in ray/src/common, since |
2756 |
+ |
it isn't present on Linux derivatives. |
2757 |
+ |
|
2758 |
+ |
Added WGMDfunc material type with programmable roughness and |
2759 |
+ |
separate modifier paths for the different components. |
2760 |
+ |
|
2761 |
+ |
Added gensurf -i option at the request of Peter Apian-Bennewitz |
2762 |
+ |
to reverse surface normals, mostly for data input, when it is |
2763 |
+ |
a bit more difficult to adjust. |
2764 |
+ |
|
2765 |
+ |
Added rad -N option to rholo call for multiprocessing when |
2766 |
+ |
mkillum and/or mkpmap are involved in octree prep. |
2767 |
+ |
|
2768 |
+ |
Added ability of gendaymtx to read EPW as well as WEA files. |
2769 |
+ |
When EPW input is provided, the 3-hour average dew point is |
2770 |
+ |
used to compute a more accurate precipitable water content |
2771 |
+ |
value. It currently does not use these data directly from |
2772 |
+ |
the EPW input, relying instead on a dew-point-to-W calculation. |
2773 |
+ |
This follows the request and recommendations of David G-M. |
2774 |
+ |
|
2775 |
+ |
Removed limitation in rfluxmtx, which was disallowing distant |
2776 |
+ |
and local receivers. Found this to be a perfectly valid approach |
2777 |
+ |
for some annual daylighting scenarios. |
2778 |
+ |
|
2779 |
+ |
Wrote new pvsum tool to handle cases dctimestep can't, like |
2780 |
+ |
spectral input pictures. It also adds a -N option for multi- |
2781 |
+ |
processing on Unix machines, which utilizes memory-mapped |
2782 |
+ |
inputs for efficient i/o sharing. |
