[Radiance-general] BRL-CAD 7.22

[Thomas Bleicher]

Hi Philippe

According to this document (
http://brlcad.org/w/images/6/66/Converting_Geometry.pdf) BRD-CAD has a
converter to Wavefront OBJ format which is well supported in Radiance. From
OBJ you then use the Radiance tools obj2rad or obj2mesh to convert the
geometry into a Radiance native format. You have to experiment with these
tools to find a modeling and exporting workflow that suits your needs.

BRD-CAD also includes sample source code for non-CSG exporters (ie. face
based geometry like it's used in Radiance). It should not be too difficult
to write a native Radiance exporter based on this - if you know C, of
course.

Regards,
Thomas
