Version 5.3 (Released September 1, 2020) |
| 2241 |
|
|
| 2242 |
|
Created radcompare program to compare Radiance tool output to reference outputs |
| 2243 |
|
during unit-testing. |
| 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 |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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/util/depthcodec.{h,c}. |
| 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/util/normcodec.{h,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/util/idmap.{h,c}. |
| 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). |
| 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. |
| 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 |
> |
simulations when the sun and sky are visible through the window. |

Added support for loading RGBE images into matrices in dctimestep. |
| 2327 |
> |
|
| 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. |

Improved rtrace flushing function to handle any value for -x without |
| 2359 |

deadlock on controlling process. |
| 2360 |
> |
|
| 2361 |
> |
Eliminated unnecessary start-up procedures for rtrace when only ray-casting |
| 2362 |
> |
is needed (i.e., no tracing or value output). |
| 2363 |

|
| 2364 |

Improved isotropic sampling method in bsdf2ttree using "zipper" approach |
| 2365 |

|
| 2367 |

cumulative cache during MC sampling (rendering). Limit set to 250MBytes |
| 2369 |
> |
per BSDF for standard architectures. |
| 2370 |

|
| 2371 |

Added -n and -s options to bsdf2ttree to provide some user control |

directions exactly. |

in many cases. |

Added rcollate -c option to force operation to continue even if it |
| 2389 |

seems unnecessary. Made tool more robust. |
