[Radiance-general] Removing black areas in imagemapping

[Thomas Bleicher]

Per.

I still think that your problem is the value at which
mixfunc decides if the value from the fc image should
be used or not (based on your non-zero function).

You can try and replace the function once with

nonzero(r,g,b) = 1

and then with

nonzero(r,g,b) = 0

In the first case you should get the whole surface
in black (because every pixel is used), in the second
you should see nothing at all. (Mind you, I haven't
tested these functions; I only assume they work!)

Also use phisto on your falsecolor image to see the
actual values of the black pixels. It looks like there
is a range of "dark grey" instead of black. If you convert
your image to tiff or ppm, edit the grey values to black
in Photoshop and convert it back you might have a
better result already. I'm sure there is also a way to
do this with Radiance tools but I don't have one ready.

*.pic files are *.hdr images. The extension is just a
convention and since the world has adopted *.hdr for
this type of images the Radiance community is moving
to this extension, too.
