Hallo Lars,
Thanks a lot for your reply, but unfortunately i was not able to work on
it. my administrator (who does the instlalation for us told me that it
might not work on Radiance version 4.2a; is it true? if yes which version
of radiance i should work with?
thanks a lot again!

hi,i have a question about the weather data in radiance simulation. i want
to know which items of weather data is used in a daylight simulation by the
radiance software.
thanks for your help

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252Hi Greg,
I need a test with true Monte Carlo sampling (in the contrary as many
earlier requests, I need as much variance in different runs of rpiece as
possible).
I assume rpiece takes the same default values as rpict (?)"rpict -defaults" gives:
-u- # correlated quasi-Monte Carlo sampling
It is not clear to me how to set true Monte Carlo sampling on.
-u+ ?
Cheers,
- iebele

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-asciiYes and yes. You can use the -u+ option in rpiece, along with all the
other rpict options. I recommend setting "-ps 1" as well for pure MC.-Greg

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"Radiance doesn't take weather data directly. The gensky and gendaylit
programs in Radiance can use some information from weather tapes to adjust
their sky models, but there aren't any built-in utilities to handle weather
tapes.Daysim does have such utilities, and we are hoping to add some facilities
in the next year or so.-Greg

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowedHi,
just one hint - if you need to process weather data, tr (to replace
separators) and awk (to select and reformat fields of records) will be
helpful to load the relevant fields into gendaylit. Both are standard
tools in any Unix-like system, includig Mac OS X and Linux.Cheers, Lars.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"hallo people,
I am planning to simulate a simple geometry using photomapping.
Is there any simple script of how photo-mapping works? my aim is to check
the output for different material (glass, prism, trans...) feeded with a
narrow beam Fixture which results different outputs.thanks in advance!

Start with Roland's documentation of the pmap extension for Radiance. It
explains most. Especially look for the supported / unsupported
primitives. Than, vary the number of photon in the distribution pass
(try up to 2,000,000 photons) and the bandwith in the photon gather
pass. Basically, pmap is not too different from using Radiance, you just
create the photon maps with mkpmap first and use them instead of the
ambient calculation in rpcit / rtrace. Don't forget to manually delete
the photon maps, they are not overwritten by mkpmap (adding a --force /
-f option for overwriting would be a useful add-on...).I showed some examples at a presentation two years ago:
There are several presentations on the pmap around for the recent
workshops, all available at radiance-online.org.Cheers, Lars.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"so you mean that radiance extracts the sky conditions such as sky clearness
from the weather data not just altitude and longitude of the city?On Mon, Oct 8, 2012 at 1:14 AM, Greg Ward <gregoryjward@gmail.com> wrote:
