Explicit "new" command not needed to show changes, because it goes back |

Changed pabopto2bsdf default behavior to add 90-degree rotation |
| 1985 |
> |
to bring pgII's definition of "up" in line with Klems axis |
| 1986 |
> |
conventions. Introduced a new header variable "upphi" to |

control this added rotation. Using "#upphi 90" in each |

BSDF input file gets back the original behavior, where it |

assumes that the up direction is 90-degrees from the X-axis. |

The default value of 0 corresponds to PAB's definition of |

> |
|
| 2047 |
> |
Changed dctimestep to accept matrix as well as BTDF input |
| 2048 |
> |
in the VTDs invocation mode. This permits the output of |
| 2049 |
> |
rmtxop to be used in a pinch when combining multiple BTDF |

Added ability to digest color (CIE-XYZ) input in pabopto2bsdf. |
| 2070 |
> |
This change alters the .sir (interpolant) format, so these files |
| 2071 |

to enable on input. |
| 2073 |

|
| 2074 |
> |
Rewrote bsdf2klems to support tristimulus color and call wrapBSDF. |

Did the same for bsdf2ttree. Function specifications still gray only. |

|
| 2077 |

Reduced a problem where rvu or rholo would be slow to quit when |
| 2078 |

run with many processes on a large model or one with a large |
| 2079 |
> |
ambient file (taking lots of memory). We were waiting for |
| 2080 |

process as it disentangles its shared memory. We now |
| 2082 |

wait for all the processes together, so they can disentangle |
| 2083 |

in parallel. It can still take up to a minute in some cases, |
| 2084 |

but not 10 minutes like it was taking before the fix. |
| 2085 |

|
| 2086 |

Enabled ambient cache value corral for all levels, not just final two. |
| 2087 |
> |
This may reduce errors in certain pathological scenes. |
| 2088 |
> |
|
| 2089 |

Added -in option to rcalc, rlam, and total to limit the number of |
| 2090 |

Also added -on option to rcalc and total for logical symmetry. |

Added missing definition of "ashik2" material type to reference manual. |
| 2098 |

|
| 2099 |

Changed genBSDF to calculate device thickness assuming Zmax==0 so |
| 2100 |

pkgBSDF will generate correct proxy geometry. |
| 2101 |

|
| 2102 |

Created pabopto2xyz tool to combine different sensor measurements |

Added -a option to getinfo for easy addition of header lines. |

Made mkillum more tolerant of non-planar polygons in its sampling routines. |

Added "-recover" option to genBSDF to pick up where it left off. |
| 2118 |
> |
|
| 2119 |

Fixed genBSDF issue that was created incorrect normalization of |
| 2120 |

Klems output. Thanks to David G-M and Christian Knoflach for |

discovering the error. Also improved sampling of indirect irradiance |

Fixed bug in ranimove introduced during photon map integration. |
| 2128 |

|
| 2129 |

Added check for steep sections of BSDF in pabopto2bsdf, creating narrower |
| 2130 |

peakes in those places and mitigating some normalization issues. |
| 2131 |

|
| 2132 |

Added view360stereo.cal by Mark Stock to handle 360-degree over/under |
| 2133 |

|
| 2135 |

Added MAX2SHADE macro to place limit on number of light sources |
| 2136 |

to precheck for obstructions. (Currently set to 200.) This |
| 2137 |

avoids excessive start-up times for scenes with many light sources. |

Fixed bug in orientation of Reinhart/Tregenza sample generator in rfluxmtx. |

Added ability to perform shadow-testing through unproxied BSDFs with strong |
| 2147 |

through (direct-direct) component. |
| 2148 |
> |
|
| 2149 |

Added {+|-}a options to genBSDF and bsdf2ttree for switching off reciprocity |
| 2150 |
> |
averaging. |
| 2151 |
> |
|
| 2152 |
> |
Added bias to see through BTDFs with a strong "through" component |
| 2153 |
> |
rather than scattering view rays. This is in lieu of peak extraction, |
| 2154 |
> |
which looked to be too difficult from an implementation standpoint. |
| 2155 |
> |
|
| 2156 |
> |
Added bsdfview tool analogous to objview but for BSDF files (XML and SIR), |
| 2157 |

Added top-level resources directory with files from Rob Guglielmetti. |

Improved accuracy for peaky BSDFs and small light sources. |

representatons with strong peaks. |

Tweaked peak-extraction code to work more reliably. |

Rob Guglielmetti and Alex Swindler updated CMake build system. |

Wrote rtpict script to run rtrace in parallel mode and simulate rpict with |

|
| 2202 |

Added RAYPATH searching for -f options to genrev, gensurf, genworm, |

bsdf2klems, bsdf2ttree, and pcomb. This makes behavior consistent |

IESNA63 standards. |

|
| 2224 |

Added an "aBSDF" material type that explicitly checks for peak extraction. |
| 2225 |
> |
Its arguments are the same as the original "BSDF" type, but without the |
| 2226 |
> |
thickness parameter, as proxy geometry is not supported by this new type. |
| 2227 |
> |
The old "BSDF" type no longer does peak extraction under any circumstances, |
| 2228 |
> |
since this behavior is superfluous for proxied geometry. |
| 2229 |
> |
|
| 2230 |

cleaned up and unified handling of effective ray lengths throughout code. |

Increased default sampling in bsdf2klems (-n option) to 1024. |

Fixed an issue noticed by David G-M that was causing genBSDF to bias |

peak extraction with "aBSDF" type. |

Introduced max() and min() functions to .cal library. |
| 2265 |
> |
|
| 2266 |

Added random incident patch sampling to bsdf2klems to improve accuracy |
| 2267 |
> |
with scattering interpolation representation input (e.g., from |
| 2268 |
> |
pabopto2bsdf). The other input types already sampled incident patch area. |
| 2269 |

|
| 2270 |

Added gendaymtx -A option to compute average sky over all the input |
| 2271 |

time steps. |
| 2272 |
> |
|
| 2273 |
> |
Added ability to output color image from rtrace with any of -ovrx options. |
| 2274 |
> |
|
| 2275 |
> |
Changed rlam behavior so -iaN reads N lines from a stream rather than N |
| 2276 |
> |
characters. This seems more useful, since -ibN is somewhat redundant with |
| 2277 |
> |
the old behavior. |
| 2278 |
> |
|
| 2279 |
> |
Created rsplit program as compliment to rlam and to handle more complex |
| 2280 |
> |
rtrace output into separate files or streams. |
| 2281 |
> |
|
| 2282 |
> |
Improved getinfo so that it can also hop over resolution string with -c |
| 2283 |
> |
and header elide mode. |
| 2284 |
> |
|
| 2285 |

Made pvalue -u option mean "uncompressed" with -r. Also, allow skipping |

bytes on standard input. |
