[Radiance-general] Curved mirror surfaces

[Giovanni Betti]

Hi Jill,

have you checked the material definition that is exported by Ecotect? if
I remember correctly Ecotect exports "mirrors" as "plastic" so you'll
need to manually edit the definition in the .rad file.
And check that the normals are oriented the right way around.
Finally curved mirror reflections necessarily have to be approximated by
a mesh in this approach, so it will never look absolutely right....

Hope this helps,

Giovanni

Hello,

Does anyone have experience with mirror surfaces and especially curved 
mirror surfaces? I am not having luck getting sunlight to bounce off of 
them the way they should. Are there any tricks? I am using Ecotect and 
exporting to Radiance.

Thank you!

Jill Dalglish
