Thanks guys for your help
Rob - I did put the rtrace options in a mkillum= line, not the illum=
still rendering - we'll see how it turns out
A couple of other things I don't understand
If I use both the scene=sky.rad and illum=windows.rad
Are they both lighting the scene?
I assume not.. watching the process:
oconv nov15.rad house_mat_lit.rad house6nw.rad chandel_mat.rad furniture.rad
> window.oct
oconv -i window.oct windows.rad > window0.oct
mkillum window0.oct "<" windows.rad > il000949
oconv -f -i window.oct il000949 > window1.oct
rm -f il000949
rm -f win.amb
It seems
window.oct is the full scene
window0.oct is windows.rad
window1.oct is the full scene with the windows.rad turned into illums?
after mkillum creates the illum1.dat, illum2.dat etc.
How do I then reference that info?
I assume when using rad, it is somewhat automated.
but If I were to manually use mkillum, does it alter the windows.rad file to
use the illum.dat files?
(and please don't read this as some guru talking
down to you; I'm still learning this stuff myself.)
not at all! I appreciate the help on this list
