Hi all,

the photon map parametrisation has indeed changed. Until 5.0, the  
-ap{g,c,v,d} parameters were symmetric between mkpmap and the renderers  
rtrace/rpict/rvu. It's asymmetric now for ease of use as the photon map
type can be deduced from the file header, so it's no longer necessary to  
explicitly specify it via these options; just an -ap will do.

I believe the scripts Chris mentioned were part of an earlier,  
pre-integration release from Fraunhofer ISE, and haven't been revised  
since the new parametrisation. It would make sense to update them and make  
them available via radiance-online.org, as they'd make a good starting  
point for new users.

Best regards,

--Roland
