Sensor points visualize

Hi,

I would also do it with OpenDX. Still, another option all within Radiance:

1) pipe the point locations and the corresponding values into rcalc to get a falsecolor value corresponding to the photopic average and the location as output,

2) use awk to add the string around the numbers to translate this into glow (from falsecolor of photopic average) and sphere (from location, set radius fixed according to density and size of grid or relative to photopic average)

3) render using your favorite raytracer, optionally with all the scene geometry switched to gray (xform -m ...) using all the wonderful view options

Cheers,
Lars.

···

May I suggest:
"opendx"
or as my friend would say nowadays "Paraview" or "MayaVI"
no need of fancy scripting.
take the output -opv, make the photopic average (if R = G = B just take Rx179).
then with the formatted file containing
x y z value
should be very simple in opendx.
for the others I am not sure but I am told it is also simple.
if you need more help let me know, I am happy to provide further help.
ciao
G

Thank you for the kind remark on daylighting, Thomas

I will see how I can manage it.
Ouh, I know already Axel�s page -indeed insightful.
Just to avoid confusion, my family name is todor syarova

Kind regards,

There is no simple way to visualize the numeric output from Radiance in an image. If you are only doing it for a small number of renderings the simplest way is to use something like PowerPoint or Photoshop to add labels with arrows to the right locations. If you set up a template this can also be quite fast.

If you want to visualize a larger number of images you have to use some home made scripts to make this work. You would first calculate the DF values for your points and then use psign and pcompos to add text at the right place in the image. You need to be fairly familiar with your scripting environment (Bash on Linux, CMD or PowerShell on Windows) to get this to work. If you are a stranger to the command line ask someone to assist you with this or you won't see daylight soon (pardon the pun).

You can find excellent information on scripting for Radiance on Axel Jacob's page:

    Hi Mostapha,

    It is kind of you correcting me.

    My question concerns only the visual output of the points and
    their respective values in Radiance image(render).
    In short: as the image of the interior is, to see the
    preselected(from ecotect) sensor point with its value for
    daylight factor.

    best,
    Niya

    Hi Niya,

    I think you need to be more clear about what you want to
    visualize? Do you want to find the sensor in Radiance's files? Is
    it related to your question about annual run with Daysim and you
    want to see hourly values for a single sensor during the year?

        Hello,

        i was wondering
        Is there a way to visualize the selected sensor points from
        Ecotect in the Radiance output?
