BSDFviewer

Hi Everyone,

A long time ago I developed a utility to interactively visualize data
contained in BSDF files. I found it extremely useful, so I shared it with
a few others who also found it useful. We decided to release it publicly
and now, a year later, I am *officially* allowed to share it.

You can download installers for windows and linux here:
https://www.radiance-online.org/download-install/bsdf-viewer
If you want to use it on Linux let me know, I can send you something that
you can test for me.

It was written using processing which is Java based. Processing is maybe
not the best for this, but I started there with something very simple, and
as things tend to go it got complex pretty quick.

The mac version supports tensor tree BSDFs the Windows version only
supports Klems BSDFs.

I hope you find it useful.

Andy

PS - It's a bit rough around the edges, sorry. Please report bugs that
prevent you from being able to use it and I will try to fix them quickly.

Great! Thanks a lot, Andy! I'm thinking about creating an
interactive viewer also using Processing to visualise Radiance geometry,
sensors, and simulation results. Might need your help along the way. - Ji

I have been using it for the last few weeks, on MAC... it works great,
thanks!

I should mention that I uploaded a new version for Mac yesterday (v1.3)
that fixes some issues with tensor trees. So if you have a
pre-announcement version for Mac, you should download a new one.

Also I have a few example BSDFs here if you want to try BSDF viewer but
don't want to generate a BSDF yourself:

That's great! Thanks for sharing Andy.

I've tried uncompressing the sample BSDF .xml files you linked too, but can't seem to get legible files after unzipping them on MAC OSX 10.5? Anyone else tried successfully?

The links for the BSDF files were broken. I've just fixed them. You
should be able to download them now.

Hi there,

I would be very interested in testing the BSDFviewer for linux.

Kind regards,
Andre

Andre,

download: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16523492/BSDFViewer1.3_ubuntu.tar
unpack and run: sudo ./install.sh
Tell me how it goes, send any errors or problems.

Thanks!

Hi Andy,

I just tried installing this on Ubuntu and got a couple errors. First it
complained of not having a "BSDFViewer" directory. Was this supposed to be
in this .tar file? So, I copied this same directory that was in a
"BSDFViewer1.2_ubuntu" package I got from you and it runs until I get
errors like this for each file in BSDFViewer directory:

/usr/bin/ld: i386 architecture of input file 'xxxxx.o' is incompatible with
i386:x86-64 output

It also complains about not finding a "libBSDF.so" file.

Am I missing some updated files or something else?

Thanks!
Zack

Dear Andrew,

I missed the first versions and the links are no longer available. I
downloaded the last version you provided ( 1.3a_ubuntu.zip) and it seems
some source files from the common radiance source folder are missing for
succesfull compilation :
cone.c cone.h face.c face.h free_os.c image.c instance.c
instance.h loadvars.c mesh.c mesh.h modobject.c otypes.c
otypes.h readmesh.c readobj.c readoct.c sceneio.c tmapluv.c
tmaptiff.c tmaptiff.h
(i copied them from the radiance-HEAD source available on
radiance-online.org)

Then there is a java issue
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/include/jni.h:45:20: fatal error: jni_md.h: No
such file or directory
this error comes from the fact that the file is located in the
include/linux rep. (
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hadoop-hdfs-dev/201205.mbox/<117050669.38033.1336464885155.JavaMail.tomcat@hel.zones.apache.org>
)

And now it works!!

Thanks! You just provided me with a great tool that will be quite usefull.
It would be even more if i can directly load a bsdf.xml file from the
comand line (or by an other way). Ist that possible??

I see this ubuntu version includes tensor trees. That is great! I have been
reading a bit about tensor trees and would like to use them to create bsdf
from the simulation of complex fenestration systems. I looked at the code
in the genbsdf routine that creates the tensor tree but i am realy not
familiar with perl... then i found the bsdf_t files in the common dir of
radiance. Is there any specific documentation about this, or an example i
could start from to create and store tensor tree bsdfs?? Idealy i would
like to create a C++ object to do that... Any help or advice would be
greatly apriciated.

Kind Regards.

Andre

Hi Andre,
Thanks for sending a report. I'm gald you were able to get it to work. It
shouldn't need those other things to build libBSDF.so, so I'll see if I can
remove the dependencies.

What did you do to fix the jni_md.h location problem? Did you copy it into
the correct place?

The WINDOW team want's to use this software (or a cleaned up versin of it)
to display BSDFs from WINDOW, so it will have the ability to load a file
passed as a command line argument eventually.

The best public documentation is available here (starting at slide 18):
http://www.radiance-online.org/community/workshops/2011-berkeley-ca/presentations/day1/GW3_Multires_BSDF.pdf
but that's not much to go on.

I can also offer a few images of the tensor tree angle bsdf basis to help
understand how the shirly-chiu mapping works with the hilbert curve:
http://gaia.lbl.gov/people/andy/public/tensortree/

Dear Andrew,

I missed the first versions and the links are no longer available. I
downloaded the last version you provided ( 1.3a_ubuntu.zip) and it seems
some source files from the common radiance source folder are missing for
succesfull compilation :
cone.c cone.h face.c face.h free_os.c image.c instance.c

(i copied them from the radiance-HEAD source available on
radiance-online.org)

Then there is a java issue
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/include/jni.h:45:20: fatal error: jni_md.h: No
such file or directory
this error comes from the fact that the file is located in the

)

And now it works!!

Thanks! You just provided me with a great tool that will be quite usefull.
It would be even more if i can directly load a bsdf.xml file from the
comand line (or by an other way). Ist that possible??

I see this ubuntu version includes tensor trees. That is great! I have
been reading a bit about tensor trees and would like to use them to create
bsdf from the simulation of complex fenestration systems. I looked at the
code in the genbsdf routine that creates the tensor tree but i am realy not
familiar with perl... then i found the bsdf_t files in the common dir of
radiance. Is there any specific documentation about this, or an example i

greatly apriciated.

Hi Andy,

I just tried installing this on Ubuntu and got a couple errors. First it
complained of not having a "BSDFViewer" directory. Was this supposed to
be
in this .tar file? So, I copied this same directory that was in a
"BSDFViewer1.2_ubuntu" package I got from you and it runs until I get
errors like this for each file in BSDFViewer directory:

/usr/bin/ld: i386 architecture of input file 'xxxxx.o' is incompatible
with
i386:x86-64 output

It also complains about not finding a "libBSDF.so" file.

Am I missing some updated files or something else?

Thanks!
Zack

Hi Zack,
Sorry, the BSDFViewer folder should have been in the tar file. Using an
old one won't work.

here's a link to a new tar file which includes the missing directory:

Here's a new zip file with all the common src files:
http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16523492/BSDFViewer1.3b_ubuntu.zip

BSDFViewer doesn't need all of them, but it's easier to include it all than
it is to figure out which ones aren't necessary and edit the Rmakefile...

Hi Andy,

thanks for the update and the various info on tensor trees.

I m looking forward for a version with command line loader for the viewer.
keep us posted!

Refarding the jni_md.hlocation, yes i just copied it the the parent folder.
This is probably not the best solution, a link would be better or even
better add the right folder to the include path in the makefile..

Ragards,
Andre

Here's a new zip file with all the common src files:
http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16523492/BSDFViewer1.3b_ubuntu.zip

BSDFViewer doesn't need all of them, but it's easier to include it all than
it is to figure out which ones aren't necessary and edit the Rmakefile...

*BSDFviewer*
I've (finally) posted a tarball containing BSDFviewer for linux:
http://www.radiance-online.org/download-install/bsdf-viewer

simply unpack the tar, run sudo ./install.sh and it hopefully works, at
least on ubuntu.

Send bugs and errors to me and I'll try to trouble shoot them.

Best,
Andy

Hi @Andrew_McNeil2 @Andrew_McNeil

Do you have any ideas if anyone is looking into making the TT version work on windows?
I was curious to give this thing a shot in python for the tensor tree support on windows. In that case I would like to sneak into your code or whatever underlaying class to subdivide the sphere in the correct parts.

As an alternative it could of course be nice to host as a web application (the host would be able to see all peoples BSDFs as reward!!)

19

There is ongoing discussion about making a BSDF viewer that works on the web, and my guess is that it will happen at some point.

Mostapha shared a prototype of a web version almost two years ago. He plans to work on it again come september when his other deadlines are past. I’ve also look at and made a start at new versions with javascript in processing, and python using a various gui libraries, but never gotten very far due to time constraints. It’s usually more effort than people think at first because BSDFs, particularly tensor tree BSDFs are gnarly.

Perhaps we should start a true collaborative, open source effort for a new BSDF viewer. If you want to get started with github or something I’d be willing to contribute. The existing BSDF viewer code is in the download, though I’m not sure how permissive the license (from LBNL).
