[Radiance-general] Questions concerning tutorial 2

[Randolph M. Fritz]

If you create the waves.oct file from the "scene2" directory with the
following command:
   oconv -f art_mat.rad waves.rad >waves.oct
This problem goes away. Otherwise, rpict gets confused as to where the
files waves.oct was built from are located.
  oconv art_lib/art_mat.rad art_lib/waves.rad >art_lib/waves.oct
run from the "scene2" directory also works.
