The 5-phase method

Hi all,

I have a question regarding the 5-phase method. If gendaymtx had an option
to generate a diffuse only sky matrix, would it be possible to skip the
second term in the 5-phase method?

Leyla,

I understand the gendaymtx program has an option to create skies without
sun. However, I also understand that the second term of the 5phase method
intends to subtract the direct sun, but leaving there the inter-reflected
sun. That is, all the sun's contributions are calculated on the first term
(3phase method), and then, all those rays going directly from the sky to
the window are eliminated, but leaving the rays that come from the sun and
first bounce on the exterior scene.

Short answer is NO… I hope I understand, hahaha… my head hurt after that
day, haha.

Bye!
