Fellow Coders:
Parallel to the work on hyperspectral rendering, I have been busy the past several months (years if you count the false starts) on some long overdue Radiance code refactoring. I am happy to report that I’ve just completed what I consider a “full set” of C++ rendering classes. These cover the functionality of rtrace, rpict, rpiece, and rcontrib. In fact, I wrote a new set of tools, rxtrace, rxpict, rxpiece, and rxcontrib to demonstrate and test these new classes.
My hope is that other developers will build on these classes and use them through Python and other C++ friendly platforms. A more complete description may be found in this PDF.
Feel free to write me directly or post anything of general interest on this thread.
Best,
-Greg
