[Radiance-general] Uniform sky

[CHI-German Molina]

Vera,

I am not sure this will work, but I would tune a gray "Ambient Value"
instead of using a Uniform Sky.

Try something like

"rpict -ab 0 -av 1 1 1 octree_without_light_sources"

A "pi" (3.1415) might be needed somewhere. But I think this is the way to
go instead of using a uniform sky.

Bye!
