[Radiance-general] obj2rad strange results

[Giulio Antonutto]

could you post few lines (10/20) of your converted rad file?
and also which is the command you are using to convert?

if you are still in trouble you may try,
3ds2mgf model.3ds
mgf2rad model.mgf > model.rad


or
obj2mesh model.obj > model.mesh
and import your object as a mesh into radiance,

void mesh model
1 model.mesh
0
0


thanks

Hi,

I am just getting started with Radiance and i am attempting to find a
workflow which allows the rendering of geometry generated within 3D
Studio
Max in Radiance. With my limited expertise the only way in which i can
see
of doing this is to export to Wavefront object .obj from 3DS and then
use
the obj2rad radiance tool.

The problem with this approach is that the .rad file which is generated
by
obj2rad does not appear the same as those that i have used before. When
i
try to render these .rad files oconv reports that the beginning of each
of
the lines begins with an undefined moodifier.

When i used the resultant octree file in rview it reported a fatal error

"./rview: fatal - (pot.oct): truncated octree"

Any help that you might be able to offer would be very welcome.

Many thanks,

Gareth Beale
