Unfortunately photon-mapping is cur spectral sampling is enabled, but we will fix this as soon as possible. Calculation overhead appears to be approximately 10-15% for RGB renderings compared to version 5.4a. + +Added spectral rendering to rvu as well, and made -cs and -cw +options standard across the rendering library. I also brought +mkillum, ranimove, rsensor, and mksource into the fold. These +tools were broken in the initial release. (Hopefully, they are +working now, but none have been tested as yet.) +There was also an indexing bug in the spectral->RGB conversions +that made reds into blues and vice versa, which has been fixed. + +Added i/o for spectral pictures to rmtxop, the first program that can +ingest them. (Only rtrace, rcontrib, and rfluxmtx can render them.) +New symbolic rmtxop -c options, such as RGB, XYZ, S (for scotopic) +and M (for melanopic) make color conversions simpler. Alternatively, +a reference matrix or picture may be given and the color space of +that file will be used. The -C option takes either a symbolic +color space or reference file and is "sticky," so it applies to +all subsequent input files that do not have their own -c right ahead +of them. + +Added spectral picture support to rcrop and radcompare.
