[Radiance-general] Re: luminaire modeling Was: set overflow in addobject

[Greg Ward]

This is informative -- it looks to me like the density of polygons goes 
up dramatically near the center, and I suspect this is why oconv is 
unable to resolve your model.  Oconv has an upper limit to the number 
of polygons it will put in an octree voxel, and you are running into 
this limit with lower values of -r and running out of memory as it 
tries to resolve the mesh with larger values of -r.  The best solution 
would be to reduce the number of polygons you have in the center of 
your reflector, perhaps by going to a more sophisticated grid 
arrangement that what you have, which appears to be a uniform division 
of the polar coordinates.
