rpict -dv option to switch light source visibility

Hi Vaib,

You could also try using an "illum" in place of a "light."

I think the -dv switch works as designed. It will not hide the light source completely but the source itself is shown in black instead of the actual brightness that the object (lamp, light fitting etc) would have. I think that was done to avoid high intensity peaks that would confuse certain evaluation algorithms in other applications.

In your case you should be able to hide the light sources using a clipping plane. Check the -vo option of rpict.

Thomas

    Hello everyone,

    I tried to make light source invisible by using the -dv option in
    rpict, but somehow it doesn't work for me. The lights are shown black.

    In my case, the camera and lights are placed at the same height in
    a room, and the camera is looking down towards the floor. I have
    tried both with and without -dv option.

    When I place camera just below the lights, then the lights are not
    visible (which is obvious, as lights are then not in line of sight).

    Has someone else also experienced the same? Thank you!

    Best regards,
    Vaib
