[Radiance-general] texpict...

[Lars O. Grobe]

Hi!

I know that there has been a thread about bumpmaps not long ago. But I found 
that Simon Crone has implemented a  texpict modifier for an old version of 
radiance. Is there anybody out there  working with this and current radiance 
releases? And why has this not been added  to the official radiance code 
branch?

I need some kind of bump-mapping, as I have a large model of a church with  
some more detailed elements. There are reliefs on parts of the building which 
exist in  their geometry, but I don't want to model the relief ;-) BTW, this 
would make the model too large, too.

So I will have to use colorpict for now... but I don't really like this... We 
have all those nice bumpmap features in our modeling software, and now I have 
to tell the others that I work with mapped images... ;-)

BTW, any hints regarding black/white-images as colorpict-maps?

Thank you, CU, Lars.
