Re-fixed bug in octree code that caused it to allocate 8 times as |
| 1622 |
|
much memory as it actually used(!) -- this was pointed out way back |
| 1623 |
|
in 1999 by Erik Reinhard and Erik Jansen, but the fix they gave me |
| 1624 |
< |
got lost in the slightly borken release process at the time. This |
| 1624 |
> |
got lost in the slightly broken release process at the time. This |
| 1625 |
|
should make a big difference in memory usage, especially for the |
| 1626 |
|
new mesh primitive. (I measured 30% less memory usage.) |
| 1627 |
|
|
| 1629 |
|
|
| 1630 |
|
Reduced the default -n setting for obj2mesh to take better advantage |
| 1631 |
|
of the smaller octree structure size. |

| 1633 |

Fixed bug in shadow cache where it was adding surfaces with antimatter |
| 1634 |
+ |
holes cut in them to the obstructor list. Thanks to John Mardaljevic |
| 1635 |
+ |
for discovering and reporting the problem. |
| 1636 |
+ |
|
| 1637 |
+ |
Adding ability in mkillum to incorporate BSDF data in calculation. |
| 1638 |
+ |
Internal interface (raypcalls) now used in place of rtrace process(es). |
| 1639 |
+ |
|
| 1640 |
+ |
Fixed pixel alignment in pcomb for size reduction and enlargement. |
| 1641 |
+ |
|
| 1642 |
+ |
Allow rtcontrib user to set -P and -PP options for persistent rendering. |
| 1643 |
+ |
The only caveat is that -n setting > 1 requires -PP rather than -P. |
| 1644 |
+ |
|
| 1645 |
+ |
Added -c option to rtcontrib to facilitate cumulative calculations. |
| 1646 |
+ |

****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** |
| 1648 |
+ |
Fixed long-standing bug in source.cal, which caused it to produce |
| 1649 |
+ |
reversed anisotropic photometric distributions due to the |
| 1650 |
+ |
misorientation of the y-axis. Thanks to Zack Rogers for discovering |
| 1651 |
+ |
and helping debug this problem. |
| 1652 |
+ |
|
| 1653 |
+ |
Fixed long-standing bug in replmarks, where triangles with X-side |
| 1654 |
+ |
aligned with Z-axis would cause incorrect rotations. Thanks to |
| 1655 |
+ |
Zack Rogers for finding this error. |
| 1656 |
+ |
|
| 1657 |
+ |
Added rsensor program to compute sensor signal for daylighting controls. |
| 1658 |
+ |
Funding for this component was provided by the Architectural Energy |
| 1659 |
+ |
Corporation in Boulder, CO, and directed by Zack Rogers. |
| 1660 |
+ |
|
| 1661 |
+ |
Added "planisphere" (stereographic) fisheye view type for traditional |
| 1662 |
+ |
daylighting analysis. Feature requested & explained by Axel Jacobs. |
| 1663 |
+ |
|
| 1664 |
+ |
Modified -c option to rtcontrib so it can take a number of input |
| 1665 |
+ |
rays to average over, rather than only produce a single accumulated |
| 1666 |
+ |
record (which can now be done with -c 0). |
| 1667 |

===================== |
| 1669 |
+ |
Version 4.0 |
| 1670 |
+ |
|
| 1671 |
+ |
Added -n option to rvu to provide parallel rendering. |
| 1672 |
+ |
|
| 1673 |
+ |
****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** |
| 1674 |
+ |
Changed ".pic" extension to ".hdr" in all sources and documentation |
| 1675 |
+ |
to improve interoperability with other software, since this has become |
| 1676 |
+ |
the de facto extension for Radiance RGBE and XYZE pictures. Since file |
| 1677 |
+ |
extensions were never more than a convention in Radiance, this does not |
| 1678 |
+ |
affect operation, but may require the update of scripts, etc. written |
| 1679 |
+ |
by others that assume the ".pic" suffix for Radiance output. |
| 1680 |
+ |
|
| 1681 |
+ |
Added -N option to objview to support multiprocessing. |
| 1682 |
+ |
|
| 1683 |
+ |
Improved sampling of circular sources (source, sphere, ring types) with |
| 1684 |
+ |
quite a bit of help from David Geisler-Moroder. |
| 1685 |
+ |
|
| 1686 |
+ |
Added "rpict" and "rvu" variables to rad, and made these as well as |
| 1687 |
+ |
the "oconv", "mkillum" and "pfilt" variables accept an alternate |
| 1688 |
+ |
command path in each case. Change suggested by Lars Grobe based |
| 1689 |
+ |
on similar Radzilla (radz) facility by Carsten Bauer. |
