parallel. |
| 1173 |

|
| 1174 |

Fixed bug where mesh instances were not being freed, so subsequent calls |
| 1175 |
< |
in programs like ranimate would refer to bogus data. |

Added support in normtiff for floating-point and 16-bit/sample TIFF input |
| 1178 |
|
files. |
| 1256 |
|
Made similar change for virtual sources to allow modifiers and aliases |
| 1257 |
|
on the mirror and prism types to work properly. |

Rob Guglielmetti added -lw and -lh options to falsecolor to control the |
| 1260 |
|
legend dimensions. Made it so -lw 0 and/or -lh 0 turns legend off. |
| 1261 |
|
|
| 1262 |
|
Made it so pcompos will read everything from a stream even if it doesn't |
| 1263 |
|
need it, so input commands will not receive a hangup signal. |
| 1264 |

|
| 1265 |
+ |
Wrote ra_bmp program to convert to and from Windows BMP files (finally). |
| 1266 |
+ |
It's the most horrible image format I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot. |
| 1267 |
+ |
|
| 1268 |
+ |
Increased -aa default value for all renderers (and also -ad and -as in |
| 1269 |
+ |
rview) at Schorsch's suggestion. I think this undid my earlier decrease |
| 1270 |
+ |
of -aa last time, which I guess was ill-considered. |
| 1271 |
+ |
|
| 1272 |
+ |
Modified oconv to keep subdividing the octree if there are too many |
| 1273 |
+ |
objects in a voxel even when the -r resolution limit has been |
| 1274 |
+ |
reached. This was not done before due to problems with recursion, |
| 1275 |
+ |
and still, it will only continue to 256 times the original -r limit. |
| 1276 |
+ |
If that isn't enough, then there's probably no hope, anyway. |
| 1277 |
+ |
|
| 1278 |
+ |
Added -l option to obj2mesh to search for material files in library |
| 1279 |
+ |
locations. |
| 1280 |
+ |
|
| 1281 |
+ |
Increased polygon vertex limit to 512 in obj2mesh and obj2rad and added |
| 1282 |
+ |
warning if this limit is exceeded. |
| 1283 |
+ |
|
| 1284 |
+ |
Added tone-mapping and monitor primary options to ra_bmp. This gives |
| 1285 |
+ |
new functionality similar to normtiff and ximage. It would be nice to |
| 1286 |
+ |
add this feature to the other ra_* programs as well... someday. |
| 1287 |
+ |
|
| 1288 |
+ |
Fixed long-standing bug in reported pixel ordering out of certain |
| 1289 |
+ |
protate commands. |
| 1290 |
+ |
|
| 1291 |
+ |
Added -p option to rcalc for "passive mode" that transmits |
| 1292 |
+ |
unrecognized input -- useful for substituting data in the |
| 1293 |
+ |
middle of a stream. |
| 1294 |
+ |
|
| 1295 |
+ |
Fixed a very obscure bug in rpict that caused a dark horizontal |
| 1296 |
+ |
line in certain cylindrical projections due to improper drawing |
| 1297 |
+ |
of the sky dome source in rt/srcdraw.c. |
| 1298 |
+ |
|
| 1299 |
+ |
Fixed problems with effective ray lengths computed for dielectric |
| 1300 |
+ |
and BRTDfunc materials. This was most evident in breakup of holodeck |
| 1301 |
+ |
views when VDISTANCE=True. |
| 1302 |
+ |
|
| 1303 |
+ |
Fixed rad so that 'scene' variable may consist only of inline commands. |
| 1304 |
+ |
|
| 1305 |
+ |
Fixed bug introduced in shadow caching routines where sources in the |
| 1306 |
+ |
middle of spheres were not illuminating properly. Thanks to Guilio |
| 1307 |
+ |
Antonutto for spotting this problem. |
| 1308 |
+ |
|
| 1309 |
+ |
Modified gensky behavior so if time is given with standard time zone |
| 1310 |
+ |
designation, any -m option is ignored. |
| 1311 |
+ |
|
| 1312 |
+ |
Added -n option to mkillum for (shared memory) parallel processing. |
| 1313 |
+ |
|
| 1314 |
+ |
Fixed a long-standing bug in parallel processing code that only |
| 1315 |
+ |
seemed to manifest with the new mkillum -n option, where rtrace |
| 1316 |
+ |
would deadlock upon termination. The reason it never showed up |
| 1317 |
+ |
before is because I always closed processes in the reverse order |
| 1318 |
+ |
of opening them in other programs. I went through and found similar |
| 1319 |
+ |
(potential) bugs in the rview device subprocess code and util/netproc.c. |
| 1320 |
+ |
|
| 1321 |
+ |
Corrected the normalization of the Gaussian reflectance model. This will |
| 1322 |
+ |
cause an increase in specularity for low-lying light sources. |
| 1323 |
+ |
Thanks to Don Walters of Boeing and Arne Duer of the Univ. of Innsbruck |
| 1324 |
+ |
for pointing out this error. The square root used for the two cosines |
| 1325 |
+ |
in the denominator of the normalization factor should not be present. |
| 1326 |
+ |
This was a serious mistake I made in the original model, which went |
| 1327 |
+ |
undiscovered (at least to my knowledge) for over a decade. I think |
| 1328 |
+ |
Bruce Walter of Cornell may have known about it, but I never heard |
| 1329 |
+ |
the details of his discovery. |
| 1330 |
+ |
|
| 1331 |
+ |
Enabled the -p option for primary conversion without tone-mapping |
| 1332 |
+ |
in ra_bmp. Also provides for XYZE input conversion to RGB. |
| 1333 |
+ |
|
| 1334 |
+ |
Fixed what I consider a bug in pvalue -o when taking XYZE files on input, |
| 1335 |
+ |
where it was inappropriately undoing the exposure value so that it always |
| 1336 |
+ |
reported radiance rather than XYZ values with Y in cd/m^2. |
| 1337 |
+ |
|
| 1338 |
+ |
Made it so ra_bmp only produces run-length encoded 8-bit output for |
| 1339 |
+ |
grayscale images that are tone-mapped. This minimizes circumstances |
| 1340 |
+ |
under which output scanline order is reversed. |
| 1341 |
+ |
|
| 1342 |
+ |
Fixed bug in rcalc where it sometimes wasn't parsing the input format |
| 1343 |
+ |
correctly. |
| 1344 |
+ |
|

+ |
===================== |
| 1346 |
+ |
Version 3.7 |
| 1347 |
+ |
|
| 1348 |
+ |
Fixed bug in source occluder cache which caused consistency error |
| 1349 |
+ |
for distant sources and mist materials. (Thanks to Mark Stock for |
| 1350 |
+ |
finding the problem.) |
| 1351 |
+ |
|
| 1352 |
+ |
Fixed serious bug in source drawing routines for rpict, where the edges |
| 1353 |
+ |
of light sources were appearing through obstructions. (Thanks to Veronica |
| 1354 |
+ |
Sundstedt for pointing this out.) |
| 1355 |
+ |
|
| 1356 |
+ |
(The above were included in the 3.6.1 patch release.) |
| 1357 |
+ |
|
| 1358 |
+ |
Changed default temporary directory from /usr/tmp, which doesn't exist |
| 1359 |
+ |
on a lot of systems these days, to /tmp. |
| 1360 |
+ |
|
| 1361 |
+ |
Eliminated many unused files and programs from the distribution, including |
| 1362 |
+ |
the following programs that were being built but no longer used: |
| 1363 |
+ |
oki20 - printer driver for OkiMate 20 printer (B&W) |
| 1364 |
+ |
oki20c - printer driver for OkiMate 20 color printer |
| 1365 |
+ |
pcwarp - intended as more general substitute for macbetcal, |
| 1366 |
+ |
but never quite worked |
| 1367 |
+ |
ra_avs - convert to & from AVS image format |
| 1368 |
+ |
ra_bn - convert to & from Barneyscann format |
| 1369 |
+ |
ra_pr - convert to & from 8-bit Sun rasterfile format |
| 1370 |
+ |
ra_pr24 - convert to & from 24-bit Sun rasterfile format |
| 1371 |
+ |
thf2rad - convert GDS "things file" to Radiance scene format |
| 1372 |
+ |
If anyone is still wanting any of the above programs, let us know and we'll |
| 1373 |
+ |
reinstate it. |
