[Radiance-general] Models for radiance scenes

[Greg Ward]

Hi Vera,

They are a bit dated at this point, but some older Radiance models may be found from the original Download page under "models":

	http://radsite.lbl.gov/radiance/framed.html

which gets you to:

You generally need to use "make" to build the octrees, etc., so hope you're OK with that.  If you don't have the make program, you can do it by hand following what is written in the included Makefile's.

Best,
-Greg

And we're looking for to do some experiments on simulation scenes and we figured pictures generated by radiance using light simulation would be perfect. Currently the scenes I'm using are from the tutorials of Rendering with Radiance. I'm wondering if there are any public available datasets of built radiance models such as tables, windows, chairs... that I could use? Thank you very much for taking a look!
