Hi everyone,
I am confused about rtrace options setting for mkillum command. I want to calculate the indoor illuminance on the working plane under different daylight conditions. I am wondering should give the same setting for the rtrace options of mkillum and for the rtrace options which will as input of rcalc.
For example, for the working plane illuminance prediction, I used the following commands.
rtrace -I -ov -ab 3 scene.oct < points.pts | rcalc -e ‘$1=179*(.265*$1+.670*$2+.065*$3)’
So to keep accurate illuminance prediction, should I also set -ab 3 for the rtrace options of mkillum ? Whether or not it must keep these two settings the same.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Hao
