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

[Guglielmetti, Robert]

Welp, it appears that the '*' wildcard expansion does not work with Windows in the standard shell, even though the wildcard does work with other internal commands, such as 'type' (Windows-speak for 'cat'). As they say: WTF?

- Rob

P.S. The wildcard does expand correctly with pcompos in a Cygwin shell, so there's that.

P.P.S. You can install a lightweight Cygwin shell by simply installing Git for Windows (https://msysgit.github.io/). You get a proper BASH shell in Windows with minimal effort. Highly recommended.

I'm probably not the one to answer this, as I don't use Windows and haven't seen this error, but did you check to make sure there are files that match "window1_*.hdr" in the directory where pcompos is executed?

Hi Greg,

Thanks!
Now, I will try to solve the problem with pcompos (window1_*.hdr, invalid argument)

C:\Radiance\test\20150505\vmx\images>pcompos -a 10 -b 1 1 1 window1_*.hdr > al
lwindow1.hdr
window1_*.hdr: Invalid argument

Best wishes!
Urtza.

Hi Urtza,

You should not be using the file "klems_ang.cal" but something like "klems_full.cal" or klems_int.cal.  This is why Nkbins was undefined, and probably at least one reason your simulation is not working.

Best,
-Greg

Hello Christopher,

Thank you for your response.
I think that in the radiance-4.2.2-win32.exe there is not the ximage program. I usually use RadianceIV.exe program from Ecotect.

C:\Radiance\test\20150505\vmx>ximage window_000.hdr
"ximage" no se reconoce como un comando interno o externo,
programa o archivo por lotes ejecutable.

However, I find klems_full.cal file that it has all information about kbinS and Nkbins.
Now I have 145 .hdr files. They have light source, but the room walls are black (is it usual?)

In reference to pcompos, window1_*.hdr is invalid argument. Do you know why?

C:\Radiance\test\20150505\vmx\images>pcompos -a 10 -b 1 1 1 "window1_*.hdr" > al
lwindow1.hdr
window1_*.hdr: Invalid argument

Thank you in advance,
Kind regards,
Urtza.

What do you use to view the HDR image? Try typing:
ximage -e auto window_000.hdr
This will automatically adjust the exposure of your image upon initially opening the file. It could be that your image does have non-zero values but the exposure is skewed in your viewpoint making it look black with the default exposure value.
Or type
ximage window_000.hdr
then hit the 'a' key while ximage is active to view it with automatic exposure
while ximage is active you can also hit the '=' key and click a point in the image to adjust the exposure according to various points in the image

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
