[Radiance-general] Re: animation format

[Greg Ward]

Hi Gurneet,

I can't answer your first question as I know nothing about available 
tools for movie conversion under Linux, but I'm sure there's something, 
somewhere.  On a Mac, you would need the "professional" version of 
QuickTime to do this, I think.

Regarding a fish-eye lens, there are two types built into rpict -- 
hemispherical and angular fisheye projections.  These are explained 
(along with everything else) in the rpict man page.  If you have 
trouble looking at this from the distribution, try the website:

Note however that some of these will be out of date, since the website 
has not been synchronized with the release in many a moon.
