Version 5.3 (Released September 1, 2020) |
| 2241 |
|
|
| 2242 |
|
Created radcompare program to compare Radiance tool output to reference outputs |
| 2243 |
|
during unit-testing. |
| 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. Doesn't work quite as automatically as it should |
| 2318 |
< |
for pvalue -r, currently. |

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. |
| 2323 |
+ |
Tutorial is posted at |
| 2324 |
+ |
"https://github.com/nljones/Accelerad/wiki/The-Imageless-Method-for-Spatial-and-Annual-Glare-Analysis". |
| 2325 |
+ |
|
| 2326 |
+ |
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. |
| 2344 |
+ |
Enhancements sponsored by Ladybug Tools. |
| 2345 |
+ |
|
| 2346 |
+ |
Updated eplus_uvf to work with IDF version 9.x, checking version number. |
| 2347 |
+ |
|
| 2348 |
+ |
Fix to glarendx issues with dgi calculation. |
| 2349 |
+ |
|
| 2350 |
+ |
Made it so rmtxop and dctimestep undo any exposure applied to Radiance |
| 2351 |
+ |
pictures they may load. |
| 2352 |
+ |
|
| 2353 |
+ |
Added robjutil utility to manipulate Wavefront .OBJ files. |
| 2354 |
+ |
|
| 2355 |
+ |
Fixed a crash related to rtrace -om or -oM with mesh instances containing |
| 2356 |
+ |
materials. |
| 2357 |
+ |
|
| 2358 |
+ |
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 |
+ |
applied in genBSDF. |
| 2366 |
+ |
|
| 2367 |
+ |
Added limit to memory used by high-resolution tensor tree BSDFs for |
| 2368 |
+ |
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 |
| 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 |
| 2378 |
+ |
in many cases. |
| 2379 |
+ |
|
| 2380 |
+ |
New version of evalglare from Jan Wienold. |
| 2381 |
+ |
|
| 2382 |
+ |
Added -u option to gendaymtx to elide data columns (time steps) when |
| 2383 |
+ |
the sun is not visible above the horizon. |
| 2384 |
+ |
|
| 2385 |
+ |
========================= |
| 2386 |
+ |
Version 5.4 |
| 2387 |
+ |
|
| 2388 |
+ |
Added rcollate -c option to force operation to continue even if it |
| 2389 |
+ |
seems unnecessary. Made tool more robust. |
| 2390 |
+ |
|
| 2391 |
+ |
Added -t option to rcontrib (and rfluxmtx) to report progress after the |
| 2392 |
+ |
given number of seconds. |
| 2393 |
+ |
|
| 2394 |
+ |
Added "test" target to makeall to run unit tests. |
| 2395 |
+ |
|
| 2396 |
+ |
Modified bsdf2ttree to allow different parameters per input SIR file. |
| 2397 |
+ |
|
| 2398 |
+ |
Fixed issues with very large matrix files (> 2GB) in dctimestep, rmtxop, |
| 2399 |
+ |
and rcollate. |
| 2400 |
+ |
|
| 2401 |
+ |
Added -rf and -rb options to rmtxop to load front or back reflectance |
| 2402 |
+ |
matrix data from XML file rather than transmission. (Lars Grobe suggested.) |
| 2403 |
+ |
|
| 2404 |
+ |
Improved behavior for coincident surfaces with different materials. |
| 2405 |
+ |
Rather than returning one surface or the other based on floating-point |
| 2406 |
+ |
vagaries, opaque materials are now preferred over transparent ones. |
| 2407 |
+ |
If the materials are both transparent or both opaque, then whichever |
| 2408 |
+ |
surface appeared later in the scene description will be selected. |
| 2409 |
+ |
This came of a request for consistent behavior with legal CAD output |
| 2410 |
+ |
from Peter Apian-Bennewitz. |
