[Radiance-general] BRL-CAD 7.22

[Philippe de Rochambeau]

Hi Thomas,

thanks for your feedback.

Unfortunately, the BRL-CAD converter you mention is not included in the MacOSX version of BRL-CAD 7.22 and you can only export the databases to ASCII (tcl language format) in that application.

As a result, I am going to switch modelers: either Blender or Rhino.

Cheers,

Philippe

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.
