[Radiance-general] sharing the ambient cache

[Rob Guglielmetti]

Hi folks,

I should know the answer to this, but I don't.  Let's say I have a 
script that performs some numeric analysis of a scene (rtrace) and then 
does some renderings as well.  I typically crank up the settings quite a 
bit for rtrace, but relax them a bit for images (usually).  My question 
is, can the rpict process(es) safely use the existing ambient cache left 
over from the high-accuracy rtrace run?  Could running the rtrace at 
lower accuracy settings degrade any of the previously cached values?  
Just curious.
