Rcontrib to render reinhart sky patches

Hello all,

I am trying to use vwrays and rcontrib to render sky patches. The code below works fine for the tregenza patches, but cannot render reinhart patches.

vwrays -ff $vw|rcontrib @image.opt -ffc -fo $(vwrays -d $vw) -V+ -f tregenza.cal -b tbin -bn Ntbins -o images/patches/p%d.hdr -m skyglow a.oct

vwrays -ff $vw|rcontrib @image.opt -ffc -fo $(vwrays -d $vw) -V+ -e MF:4 -f reinhart.cal -b rbin -bn Nrbins -o images/patches/p%d.hdr -m skyglow a.oct

Thank you!

Tommy

Hi Tommy,

Did you try reinhart.cal with MF:1 ?

If that works, you are most likely running up against your system limit on the number of simultaneous open files. The fix for this is discussed a number of times in the archives, and belongs in a FAQ.

Hi Tommy,
Can you tell us what error you get or describe the result?
When rendering MF4, make sure you increase the number of simultaneous files
that can be open with this command:
ulimit -n 6000

Best,
Andy

Hi Greg,

Yes, I tried. It always gives me an error "required modifier is missing".

Thanks,

Tommy

OK, thanks. It does (usually) help to tell us what error you are getting, rather than simply saying "it doesn't work."

In this case, I don't understand why you would be getting such an error. Your command *looks* alright as you have shared it. Are you certain there are no special characters or newlines where there shouldn't be one?

Try cutting and pasting the command from your e-mail. If it still isn't working, you may have to send me your files in a private message so I can try to reproduce the error, which makes no sense.

Cheers,
-Greg
