Exterior Daylight Simulation

radiance-general
1

Hi,

I am a final year college student in London and my final year project is
about the exterior lighting simulation of Walkie Talkie building.

I was asked to use Radiance to do this simulation and I have already
installed Radiance in Ubuntu.

I have a copy of the book Rendering with Radiance but I found the copy I
have has a missing part, the 20 pages at the beginning of Chapter 6 Daylight
Simulation.

I would be very appreciated if someone could send me a scanned copy of this
20 pages.

Besides, is there any new tutorials or materials for new learners? I have
gone through the two tutorials in Chapter 1 & 2, a lot of code are now
outdated but I cannot figure out.

Regards,

Jiajie

Hi Jiajie,

I will send you the missing pages in a separate e-mail.

There is a link to tutorials from the front page of radiance-online:

  http://www.radiance-online.org/learning/tutorials

There are additional links to be found at the old website, which isn't linked to this page for some reason:

  http://radsite.lbl.gov/radiance/framer.html

Some of these are also a little out of date. The man pages can sometimes help in determining the problem:

Dear Jiajie,

There are a number of video tutorials for DIVA (Rhino interface for Radiance/Daysim/E+) here: http://diva4rhino.com/user-guide/getting-started/video-tutorials and we are adding more this week on this web site (http://mit.edu/sustainabledesignlab/projects/DIVATutorials/index.html).

In case you interested in exterior glare specifically, you might enjoy this publication by Alstan Jakubiec (http://trrjournalonline.trb.org/doi/abs/10.3141/2449-13).

Best,
