[Radiance-general] Models for radiance scenes

[CHI-German Molina]

Vera,

Just in case you do not find the answer (it would be good to find models
with well-defined materials and parameters); I guess what you can do is to
use any CAD program with an exporter. This should work in case working with
triangles (not continous spheres, cones or cylinders) is OK for you.

There is one called Groundhog project, which you can use to create your own
Radiance models in SketchUp. Also, you should be able to use models from
the 3D Warehouse; so you will have cars and/or furniture available for
download.

The project is still in development, but I used it and developed it during
my 2 year MSc. Thesis; and I guess it is already "OK" for others to use
it... It is free and Open Source.

There are also other CAD programs/extentions that you can use with the same
purpose... SU2RAD, Ecotect, blender, OpenStudio, etc.

Any doubt, do not hesitate in contact me.
