Added "-c" option to getinfo to execute command on data segment. ===================== -Version 4.3 +Version 5.0 Changed rmtxop so it writes out same type as lesser of inputs unless -direction otherwise using -f? option. +directed otherwise using -f? option. Changed order of oconv arguments in rfluxmtx so user can specify input octree using -i option at the end instead of (or in addition to) a list of scene files. -Added support for argument expansion to rfluxmtx. +Added support for argument expansion to rfluxmtx and bug fixes. + +Fixed bug in indirect hemisphere sampling for some corner cases. + +Added default specular lobe to BSDF interpolation. + +Set minimum number of shadow checks before direct optimization (4). + +(Above changes included in 4.2.1 patch release.) + +****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** +Made header input and output the default behavior for dctimestep and +genskyvec. + +****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** +Changed pabopto2bsdf default behavior to add 90-degree rotation +to bring pgII's definition of "up" in line with Klems axis +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 +the X-axis as being "up". + +Fixed bug in rsensor related to having many rows (altitude) and +few columns (azimuth) in sensitivity file. + +Fixed floating point round-off error in new Hessian calculation +for some sytems (Windows, primarily). + +Fixed bug in tensor tree BSDF code that caused bus error on +some systems, and may have been source of other errors as well. + +(Above changes included in 4.2.2 patch release.) + +Improved ambient extrapolation to avoid zero values. Actual +threshold set to 5% of recorded value. + +Changed anisotropic Gaussian and Ashikhmin models so that +illegal orientation vectors are dealt with more gracefully. + +Created wrapBSDF tool and incorporated into genBSDF along +with new rfluxmtx computation. + +Initial check-in of Roland Schregle's photon map integration. +New 5.0a version designation as suggested by Andy McNeil. + +Added left-hand coordinate sytems to rfluxmtx to correct +problems with coordinate axis orientations pointed out by +David Geisler-Moroder. + +Added color output to genBSDF (+C option) and support for +color rendering of Klems and tensor tree data. + +Fixed another bug in rsensor that caused rays to be generated +on opposite side of hemisphere even where sensitivity was zero. + +Fixed bug discovered by Jacob Jonsson in Klems BSDF +interpolator that caused it to over-predict normal +transmittance and reflectance. + +Added ability to read input from commands in dctimestep +and rmtxop. + +Added photon map support to rad. Fixed some double-counting +issues in photon-mapping spotted by David Geisler-Moroder. + +Added photon map support to trad. + +Fixed bug in antimatter source testing when antimatter +definition follows potential obstructor in input. + +Fixed issue with missing character type identifier at head +of genBSDF XML output. + +Prompted by Roland S., added option to have pcompos -a order +rows from top rather than bottom of image. + +Changed dctimestep to accept matrix as well as BTDF input +in the VTDs invocation mode. This permits the output of +rmtxop to be used in a pinch when combining multiple BTDF +layers, although interreflection between layers is not +accounted for properly as it is in the WINDOW program. + +Added Jan Wienold et al.'s evalglare to distribution. + +Hopeful fix to deadlock issue under Mac OS X 10.10.x (Yosemite).
