[Radiance-general] optics2glazedb program

[François Cantin]

Hi Jack,

When I pass a set of files (Radiance output from Optics 5) to Optics2glazedb, the script doesn't seem to be able to ''compute'' all the uncoated glass (Monolithic type in Optics 5).

Following the example taken from your presentation at the 2009 Radiance Workshop, I try to process a Starphire Ultra Clear from PPG Industries (NFRC ID= 5004) as the glass that will serve as the clear glass for my set. However, despite using a clean output from Optics, I can't get a complete output from Optics2glazedb (all I get is an header with no value):

Surface Tr Tg Tb Rcr Rcg Rcb Rgr Rgg Rgb Part


On the other hand, when I pass a LowE on clear from Viracon (The other glass taken from your example - NFRC ID= 6046) the script return a good output.

Do you have any idea of what is going on ? (In fact, I should probably ask: what am I doing wrong ?)
I'm working on Cygwin, this may be the cause of the problem...


Also, you mentioned that the first glass material description must be for an uncoated ''clear'' glass. Can you give more explanation about that ? Is this a limitation of the Glaze script ?


Once again, thanks for your help, I very appreciate it !



François

Hi Francois,

The script is still available at the site. Please give it a try again and let me know if it works. As for "official" this is it, as I am the one who put the script together.

Regards,

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for the optics2glazedb program.

Since the link provided by Jack de Valpine more than one year ago doesn't seem to be valid anymore, is there another ''official'' link to download this gem ? ;)

Thanks in advance,

      Hi Anne,

      This is not in the standard distribution it is something that I put
      together. I have placed a copy up on our ftp site. You can download it
      as follows:
            go to: ftp://ftp.visarc.com
            username: u36117396-rw2009
            passwd: rw20094vis

      The usage is as follows:
      optics2glazedb glass_1.mat .... glass_n.mat

      NOTE that the first glass material description should be for a "clear"
      glass.

      Please let me know if you have any questions.

      Regards,

      -Jack de Valpine

            Inspired by the presentation of Jack I want to generate a
            new database for the glaze script by running optics2glazedb.
            As far as I can see, the program is not included in the latest version
            (HEAD)? Where can I find optics2glazedb?

            Anne
