I can't believe I've never had to do this before, but I need to take a Radiance model and convert it back to dxf (or dwg, or obj). Is there such a utility or workflow?

Hi Rob,
I once did that going via mgf and vrml:
rad2mgf scene.rad > scene.mgf
mgf2inv -vrml scene.mgf > scene.wrl
This vrml file can then be imported to e.g. Rhino. However, I did not get
different layers for different materials, but I also didn't look into that,
because I just wanted to check the geometry...
Cheers,
David

Thanks David,
I was just writing an update myself:
I found that Francesco Anselmo wrote a nice radiance to obj script in Python:

Hi Rob,
You can convert from Radiance to MGF, then from there to Inventor format, which someone might read. (rad2mgf followed by mgf2inv) Inventor is supported at some level by Autodesk.

Thanks all.
For the record, I used Francesco's script to go from radiance to obj, then
imported that into Blender and saved as a 3ds, which I was then able to
import into SketchUp. Seems to have worked...

Hey Rob,
It had to happen some day....
rad2mgf perhaps gets you part way, not sure if mgf2inv might get you the next step?

I am currently looking into the use of hdr images and their use with evalglare.
Can anyone tell me (before I launch into it) whether it's possible to use the 'standard' lens on my camera or does evalglare require a hemispherical image as an input?
Quick to check I know, but also quick to mail all you lovely people!
