Hi everyone,
I am new to Radiance and I run it in the VMware workstation virtual machine
with Ubuntu.
I have the book 'Rendering with Radiance' and at the end of the first
chapter there is a tutorial to show what Radiance can do briefly.
I am now following the instruction to input a simple room and input the
following code in Ubuntu terminal:
vi room.rad
void light bright
0
0
3 100 100 100
void plastic red_plastic
0
0
5 .7 .05 .05 .05 .05
bright sphere fixture
0
0
4 2 1 1.5 .125
red_plastic sphere ball
0
0
4 .7 1.125 .625 .125
%oconv room.rad>test.oct
%getinfo test.oct
%rview -vp 2.25 .375 1 -vd -.25 .125 -.125 -av .5 .5 .5 test.oct
%rview -defaults
In book it said that an image of a red ball can be seen on the screen, but
for me, nothing happened. I suppose it might be a graphic interfacing
problem but I don't how to solve it.
Besides, I found a little strange that every time when I tried to input 'vi
room.rad', I cannot directly input the next line which is 'void light
bright', I must input an 'o' first and then 'void light bright'. Can someone
explain this.
Many thanks,
Jiajie
Hello,
Are you getting any error messages?
I guess you can try
1. changing rview by rvu (not sure if they are exactly the same...)
2. the line "vi room.rad" should not be in the room.rad file. It is the
command for creating the file.
I do not use "vi"... you can try editing using "gedit room.rad", which is a
MUCH simpler text editor.
Tell us you error messages and maybe we will be able to help you!
Bye
