[Radiance-general] Fwd: rcontrib for rendering - missing required modifier argument

[urtza.uriarte at upc.edu]

  Hi Greg,

I tried following your indications and it worked, although, I had to remove
Nkbins because it is undefined variable. I do not way but it could be not
having  such as the Tregenza skydiscretization...
I removed and thus, the default number is 0:
 
  C:\Radiance\test>vwrays -ff -vtv -vh 94 -vv 70 -vp 1.5 5 1.75 -vd 0 -1 0
-x 600
  -y 600 | rcontrib -x 600 -y 392 -ld- -ffc -fo -o vmx/window_%03d.hdr -f
klems_an
  g.cal -b kbinS -bn Nkbins -m windowglow -ab 12 -ad 50000 -lw 2e-5
model_vmx.oct
  rcontrib: Nkbins`RC: undefined variable

   C:\Radiance\test\20150505>vwrays -ff -vtv -vh 94 -vv 70 -vp 1.5 5 1.75
-vd 0 -1
   0 -x 600 -y 600 | rcontrib -x 600 -y 392 -ld -ffc -fo -o
vmx/window_%03d.hdr -m
   windowglow -ab 12 -ad 50000 -lw 2e-5 model_vmx.oct

However, generated window_000.hdr file does not have light. It is a black
image, even though, the render generated by rvu of the room it is ok.
Do you know why does it happen?

Thank you!
Kind regards,
Urtza

-vp 1.5 5 1.75 -vd 0 -1 0 -x 600 -y 600 -d", which used singe back-quotes
under Unix.  This replaces the command with its output on the command
line, something Windows does not do.  Substituting with double-quotes is
the wrong thing to do.  Instead, execute this command yourself, then cut
and paste the output into the rcontrib command line in its place.
