[Radiance-general] rtcontrib scripts

[J. David Maino]

Hi all,

Recently I've been playing around with rtcontrib for use on my thesis 
and have been developing (or trying to rather) some scripts to make data 
handling a bit easier. The problem is that my knowledge of shell 
scripting is rather limited, and the only other programming language I 
know fairly well (perl) is not wanting to cooperate. I'm trying to 
automate the process of multiplying the luminance values of the sky 
patches to the corresponding RGB values that rtcontrib puts out so that 
I can get illuminance data for a whole slew of sky conditions. Does 
anyone know of any scripts out there that might do this, or what 
programming language might be best suited to dealing with very large 
files (I have a lot of illuminance points)? Any help you could offer 
would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Dave
