[Radiance-general] lighting per pixel or per face?

[Jack de Valpine]

Hi,

You probably need to figure out how to export your polygonal geometry in 
a format such as .obj or .3ds which can be converted into Radiance with 
smoothing. Alternatively, you could construct the object in Radiance 
using the built in cylinder and ring geometric primitives.
