mkillum parameter modify...

I wonder if someone knows how to change Mkillum parameters.
It is said in the manual that parameters can be changged in the input file in
the form

#@mkillum variable=value option switch{+|-}..

I am not sure how I can use this input file and where I have to put it.

I really appreciate any comments.

Thanks!

mkillum takes a Radiance scene file on it's input, and that's where you have to put these sorts of options. The reason I did it that way is so you could change parameters between sections of your input files, instead of having them all fixed by the mkillum command line.

An example:

Let's call the file illumvoid.rad : Its very first line is
#@mkillum c=d d=400 s=20

# creates around 1200*20 ray samples for an illum*.dat file, which samples the environment well

# first virtual emitter
void polygon t1
0 0 12
.......

# second virtual emitter
void polygon t2
0 0 12
...
