radzilla 1.1

Hi all,

I've uploaded the new radzilla version 1.1 for checking/testing. I have fixed a lot of bugs , but
once again, I've modified a lot internally, and I hope I haven't introduced too many new ones...
Although I have checked a lot of things by myself, I haven't tested if *all* old stuff if its still working,
so I expect still some issue here and there. The more poeple check it, the sooner bugs will be found..

new in 1.1:

some storage space optimizations, especially for the polygon primitive, scenes with lots of polygons now occupy less memory
than with Radiance classic

new/enhanced gui features:
- improved octree generation interface
- image viewer, export/import module, image filtering, tonemapping with immediate preview and customizable mapping function,
  falsecolor legend in preview window ..
- global program configuration options, simple file editor

I've updated my website, too. There's no new content, but I finally found some time to improve
the horrible layout., at least as far as css and html allow it without spending too much work on it :slight_smile: .
The radzilla manual is also somewhat more convenient to read/navigate now.

Be prepared for everything and have fun ..!

Hi Carsten,

I've uploaded the new radzilla version 1.1 for checking/testing.

What to say, a HUGE THANK YOU for this new gift! :^D

Only had one error while compiling: styles don't seem to work
with qt 3.3.4, so I just disabled them in radzilla.C

Grazie!

Francesco

Hi Carsten! Good to hear from ya. I wanna try out your latest creation, and have a couple questions. This QT business: this appears to be some sort of payware GUI toolkit; is there a free download (with the devel stuff) that I can grab to compile your front end?

Speaking of compiling, my next question: I want to compile radzilla on my new Intel Mac, but your makeall script is a little different than the Radiance makeall. Where are you putting all the compile commands? They used to be cases in the makeall but yours seems to call other config files, or am I reading it incorrectly? I added the following to the Radiance makeall script:

case 8: # MacOS X on Intel
  set mach="-DBSD -DNOSTEREO -Dfreebsd -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib"
  set opt="-fast"
  set arch=IBMPC
  set extras="CC=cc"
  set special="ogl"
  breaksw

What do I need to do with the radzilla makeall script? Radzilla 1.1 looks great!

- Rob

It looks like fink is including qt3-dev

http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/qt3-dev

I think qt4 is now LGPL'd

./makeall RADZILLA

will let you

   1) Edit basic compilation parameters (compiler options etc.)
   2) Edit QT specific parameters (Location of QT libraries etc.)

at some point. If you have troubles with QT, just type 2 and
change the config file accordingly. I had to do it because
with debian the qt3 libraries are in /usr/lib, the include files
in /usr/include/qt3 and the "basedir" is /usr/lib/qt3 ...

Ciao,

Francesco

Hi Francesco,

fink for Intel Macs is still in its infancy, I'm afraid.

OK, thanks. I'll have a look. Right now, I'm out the door to go hiking in the mountains!

Hi Francesco, Hi Rob,

its a long weekend here in Germany, so my reply comes a bit late ( tomorrow is Labour day, isn't that in fact some sort of international holiday?? Ok, the former socialistic spirit has long vanished, and it just a good opportunity to be lazy or go partying. This weekend I take the first choice..:-))

sounds great, you already told me that you have accustomed quickly to your new home...
Climbing up by yourself will keep you fit and healthy, much more than elevator riding in New York :slight_smile:

concerning the QT business:
The official license from the QT developers is a twofold one. For the QT 3 version branch there is a free license
for Open Source software and a separate commercial license for, well, commercial software products.

AFAIK its the same for the newer QT4, just that it also stretches out to the Windows version, i.e. QT4 offers also a free Open Source
license for Windows based stuff. Unfortunately, migrating from the QT3 version branch to QT4 is not that simple because of some
considerable changes between the versions. At least that's what I've been told.

QT with its devil packages comes freely with all common Linux distributions, so luckily I never had to bother about where to get it from.
But I can imagine that it must be somewhere included in a developer tools collection for MacOSX, too. I'm sorry that I still have no knowledge about all Mac related stuff. Thanx to Lars Grobe and the staff at the Facility of Architecture at TU Darmstadt I had at least the opportunity to check compiling on a SUN. With an ssh connection and X11 forwarding it even works over the net with QT GUI and all, only that it takes a bit of time until the images appear. May sound trivial to the experienced guys, but its still amazing for me..

Of course, any info on typical compilation parameters for different OSes is welcome, I will integrate them into the makeall script then.

BTW, that style stuff should not pose any serious problems, thanx for the hint, I think I'll remove that line completely..

so long
-Carsten
