Version 5.1 (Released 8/17/2017) |
| 2062 |
|
|
| 2063 |
|
Fixed issue with vchars.mta and symbols.mta not being installed in |
| 2064 |
|
the appropriate metafile library location, with help from Rob G. |
| 2146 |
|
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 averaging. |

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 |
> |
which calls bsdf2rad then rad with a few useful default views. |

Version 5.2 (Release October 8, 2018) |
| 2161 |
> |
|
| 2162 |
> |
Created psketch program to apply non-photorealistic rendering to selected |
| 2163 |
> |
objects, identified by modifier name(s). |
| 2164 |
> |
|
| 2165 |
> |
Added '*' and '/' operations to rmtxop for element-wise multiplication and |
| 2166 |
> |
division of same-sized matrices. |
| 2167 |
> |
|
| 2168 |

Falsecolor legend changes and improvements by David G-M and Stephen W. |
| 2171 |

|
| 2172 |

Fixed bug in peak extraction code that generated |
| 2173 |
> |
"Bad call to SDqueryTreProjSA" error, reported by Lars Grobe. |
| 2174 |
> |
|
| 2175 |
> |
Increased maximum luminance to 10^7 in pcond to fix issue noticed |
| 2176 |
> |
by Axel Jacobs where veiling glare not added for the sun under |
| 2177 |
> |
some conditions. |
| 2178 |
> |
|
| 2179 |
> |
Increased maximum number of open files in rcontrib to the system upper |
| 2180 |
> |
limit of 2048 rather than the default 512 under Windows. |
| 2181 |
> |
|
| 2182 |
> |
Added top-level resources directory with files from Rob Guglielmetti. |
| 2183 |
> |
|
| 2184 |
> |
Improved accuracy for peaky BSDFs and small light sources. |
| 2185 |
> |
|
| 2186 |
> |
Fixed issue with pmapdump noted by Axel Jacobs. |
| 2187 |
> |
|
| 2188 |
> |
Improved accuracy of bsdf2ttree when converting scattering interpolation |
| 2189 |
> |
representatons with strong peaks. |
| 2190 |
> |
|
| 2191 |
> |
Tweaked peak-extraction code to work more reliably. |
| 2192 |
> |
|
| 2193 |
> |
Georg Mischler updated SCons build system. |
| 2194 |
> |
|
| 2195 |
> |
Rob Guglielmetti and Alex Swindler updated CMake build system. |
| 2196 |
> |
|
| 2197 |
> |
Modified pcomb so the first view seen in the inputs is written into header. |
| 2198 |
> |
|
| 2199 |
> |
Wrote rtpict script to run rtrace in parallel mode and simulate rpict with |
| 2200 |
> |
-n option. |
| 2201 |
> |
|
| 2202 |
> |
Added ability to move forwards/backwards specified distance in rvu "origin" |
| 2203 |
> |
command. Feature requested by John Mardaljevic, who essentially owns this |
| 2204 |
> |
command, now. |
| 2205 |

|
| 2206 |
> |
Reduced bias in ambient super-sampling method. |
| 2207 |
> |
|
| 2208 |

Thanks to Lars Grobe for pointing out issues. |
| 2210 |
> |
|
| 2211 |
> |
Added RAYPATH searching for -f options to genrev, gensurf, genworm, |
| 2212 |
> |
bsdf2klems, bsdf2ttree, and pcomb. This makes behavior consistent |
| 2213 |
> |
with rcalc, calc, and rendering tools. |
| 2214 |
> |
|
| 2215 |
> |
Worked with Randolph Fritz to fix some issues with ies2rad and newer |
| 2216 |
> |
IESNA63 standards. |
| 2217 |
> |
|
| 2218 |
> |
Resurrected original bsdf2rad test program, renaming it bsdf2rado. Still an |
| 2219 |
> |
optional build in src/cv/. |
| 2220 |
> |
|
| 2221 |
> |
Fixed bug in rcontrib with virtual sources, where pretest was adding |
| 2222 |
> |
to modifier accumulation buffers. Reported by Mostapha. |
| 2223 |
> |
|
| 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 |
> |
Added -r option to bsdf2rad (and bsdfview) to fix BSDF min and max range |
| 2231 |
> |
for comparing BSDFs. |
| 2232 |
> |
|
| 2233 |
> |
Fixed issue with pfilt -m option and uneven image size changes pointed |
| 2234 |
> |
out by Rob Shakespeare. |
| 2235 |
> |
|
| 2236 |
> |
Updates to evalglare and gendaylit from Jan Wienold, including new |
| 2237 |
> |
colored sky option. |

Version 5.3 (Released September 1, 2020) |
| 2241 |
> |
|
| 2242 |
> |
Created radcompare program to compare Radiance tool output to reference outputs |
| 2243 |
> |
during unit-testing. |
| 2244 |
> |
|
| 2245 |
> |
Fixed issue reading very large files (> 2 GBytes) in rcollate. |
| 2246 |
> |
|
| 2247 |
> |
Made picking function in rvu ignore transparent and void surfaces. |
| 2248 |
> |
|
| 2249 |
> |
Added -orRxX options to rtrace to enable output of mirrored and unmirrored |
| 2250 |
> |
contributions and distances to enable new types of reprojections. This also |
| 2251 |
> |
cleaned up and unified handling of effective ray lengths throughout code. |

|
| 2253 |

Bug fixes from Jan Wienold for evalglare. |
| 2254 |
> |
|
| 2255 |
> |
Changed indexed (numbered) output from dctimestep to start from 0 rather |
| 2256 |
> |
than 1, to make it more consistent with expected input naming. |
| 2257 |
> |
|
| 2258 |
> |
Increased default sampling in bsdf2klems (-n option) to 1024. |
| 2259 |
> |
|
| 2260 |
> |
Fixed an issue noticed by David G-M that was causing genBSDF to bias |
| 2261 |
> |
isotropic tensor tree samples resulting in subsequent failure of |
| 2262 |
> |
peak extraction with "aBSDF" type. |
| 2263 |
> |
|
| 2264 |
> |
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 |
> |
Also fixed inconsistency of -oN output when ray casting versus full trace. |
| 2275 |
> |
Before, it would flip normal to front side unless ray casting. Now, -oN |
| 2276 |
> |
always reports the unflipped normal. |
| 2277 |
> |
|
| 2278 |
> |
Changed rlam behavior so -iaN reads N lines from a stream rather than N |
| 2279 |
> |
characters. This seems more useful, since -ibN is somewhat redundant with |
| 2280 |
> |
the old behavior. |
| 2281 |
> |
|
| 2282 |
> |
Created rsplit program as compliment to rlam and to handle more complex |
| 2283 |
> |
rtrace output into separate files or streams. |
| 2284 |
> |
|
| 2285 |
> |
Improved getinfo so that it can also hop over resolution string with -c |
| 2286 |
> |
and header elide mode. Use +d to include resolution string in output, |
| 2287 |
> |
and -d to elide with - and -c options. |
| 2288 |
> |
|
| 2289 |
> |
Made pvalue -u option mean "uncompressed" with -r. Also, allow skipping |
| 2290 |
> |
bytes on standard input. |
| 2291 |
> |
|
| 2292 |
> |
Created rcode_depth tool to convert to and from a 16-bit/pixel portable |
| 2293 |
> |
depth image encoding that uses a mix of linear and reciprocal distance |
| 2294 |
> |
with explicit representations of 0 and infinity. Code for loading these |
| 2295 |
> |
depth maps is in src/common/depthcodec.{h,c}. |
| 2296 |
> |
|
| 2297 |
> |
Created rcode_norm tool to convert to and from 32-bit/pixel portable |
| 2298 |
> |
surface normal representation, matching the one in src/common/dircode.c. |
| 2299 |
> |
Code for loading normal maps is in src/common/normcodec.{h,c}. |
| 2300 |
> |
|
| 2301 |
> |
Created rcode_ident tool to create indexed identifier files. |
| 2302 |
> |
Code for loading these files is in src/common/idmap.{h,c}. |
| 2303 |
> |
|
| 2304 |
> |
Added -o* option to rtpict to produce layered images that handle most |
| 2305 |
> |
output types from rtrace (colors, surface normals, distances, IDs). |
| 2306 |
> |
|
| 2307 |
> |
Created rcode2bmp script to create images from new rcode_* output maps. |
| 2308 |
> |
|
| 2309 |
> |
Improved efficiency of rmtxop in cases where matrix multiplication is |
| 2310 |
> |
faster evaluated right-to-left, as when the final component is a |
| 2311 |
> |
column vector. Also added ability to apply trailing unary operators |
| 2312 |
> |
(-t, and -s or -c) to resulting matrix. |
| 2313 |
> |
|
| 2314 |
> |
Added new depth, normal, and ID file types to radcompare. |
| 2315 |
> |
|
| 2316 |
> |
Added BigEndian= header line for automatic byte-swapping in rmtxop |
| 2317 |
> |
and radcompare. |
| 2318 |
> |
|
| 2319 |
> |
Added new "turbo" palette to falsecolor (thanks to Taoning). |
| 2320 |
> |
|
| 2321 |

Nathaniel Jones created the "dcglare" program for annual glare |
| 2322 |

> |
|
| 2328 |
> |
Added -y option to gensky and gendaylit to support more accurate Michalsky |
| 2329 |
> |
solar position calculation. |
| 2330 |
> |
|
| 2331 |
> |
Changed rsplit, so specifying a space as the separator parses words |
| 2332 |
> |
between whitespace. |
| 2333 |
> |
|
| 2334 |
> |
Added ability of vwrays, pinterp, and pmblur2 to read encoded depth files. |
| 2335 |
> |
|
| 2336 |
> |
Added -o RxCxR1xC1 facility to perform blocking in rcollate. |
| 2337 |
> |
|
| 2338 |

Made it so number of segments in genworm, genrev, and gensurf can be |
| 2339 |
> |
given as expressions of previously defined variables, etc. |
| 2340 |
> |
|
| 2341 |
> |
Added -D and -n option to gendaymtx to output sun description and skip |
| 2342 |
> |
matrix output on request. A -M option was also added to output solar |
| 2343 |
> |
modifiers for rcontrib. Support also added for leap days in WEA input. |

deadlock on controlling process. |
| 2360 |
> |
|
| 2361 |
> |
Eliminated unnecessary start-up procedures for rtrace when only ray-casting |
| 2362 |

> |
|
| 2367 |
> |
Added limit to memory used by high-resolution tensor tree BSDFs for |
| 2368 |

per BSDF for standard architectures. |
| 2370 |
> |
|
| 2371 |
> |
Added -n and -s options to bsdf2ttree to provide some user control |
| 2372 |

over super-sampling. |
| 2373 |
> |
|
| 2374 |
> |
Improved surface normal codec used by ambient file to store orthonormal |
| 2375 |
> |
directions exactly. |
| 2376 |
> |
|
| 2377 |
> |
Improved peak extraction method, which was undervaluing transmission |
