Hi Pally,
I can help here. The origin trunk (i.e. "master") on that Kitware git repo
does not refresh the way you might think. Kitware has a “combined”
branch that actually has the latest HEAD (updated nightly, I believe at
midnight EST). To add this, issue:
"git checkout -t origin/combined"
"git branch" will tell where you are, and what you've got checked out:
hooper:radiance rpg$ git branch
combined
* master
hooper:radiance rpg$
You can switch between branches with the 'checkout' command:
hooper:radiance rpg$ git checkout combined
Switched to branch 'combined'
hooper:radiance rpg$ git branch
* combined
master
hooper:radiance rpg$
I work off this combined branch for building current packages (speaking of
which a fresh set of them should go live on the NREL site today). I know
this is confusing, but this is a vestige from when Kitware was doing all
the heavy lifting getting the CMake build system implemented across the
source tree, and making frequent changes.
Anyhow, the takeaway here is if you wish to use the Kitware git repo for
your latest HEAD source, use the combined branch for now!
- Rob
P.S.
I know this is a bit confusing. We will hopefully set up our own (NREL)
git mirror that I'll be able to refresh whenever I need to.

I can't really tell what's going on because I can't reproduce your
strange image with the ghost luminaire. The ghost doesn't even match the
appearance of the luminaires you've defined, so it makes no sense to me.
You should retry with the latest HEAD version to see if it's still
happening for you. If it is, then we have an issue I can investigate
further.
Cheers,

Greg I'd completely forgotten about this issue & was reminded by a
colleague recently as he was seeing this issue intermittently.
He's provided me an archive which I've uploaded to
http://upload.iesve.com/downloads/radiance_issues/ghost_luminaire2.zip
It should contain - Monday.rad, Monday_mod.rad Luminaire Files -
DULCET1203WW.* Parameter file - Monday.rdp (with -dt = 0.025 and -dc =
0.95) View file - Monday.rdv Octree file - image5.oct Pic file -
image5.pic (with ghost luminaire)
We're running on Windows 7 x64. The radiance code I used to build from
source is a few months old (mid-September IIRC) as I haven't had time to
re-download & re-run Cmake etc. if there's been any updates since then.
Thanks,

Hi Pally,
I don't know who or what is setting your rendering parameters, but they
are not something I would recommend. The "rad" program is a good way to
get sane rendering options if you don't like the defaults. Setting -dt
.25 -dc .35 is causing the strange contours around your light sources as
well as numerous other inaccuracies. You are telling Radiance that you
are fine with 25% error in the direct calculation, meaning everything
else is worse.
The ghosts you are seeing are due most likely to a glazing surface that
extends over your wall surface(s). I can't tell you for sure because
the zip file you uploaded doesn't contain a complete model -- there are
many referenced files that are missing.
What system are you using to assemble all this?

Hi,
We've noticed some strange "ghost" luminaires in Radiance 4.2 (nothing
to do with Halloween yesterday).
I've uploaded a file with a sample .pic file and the files used to
generate it at
http://upload.iesve.com/downloads/radiance_issues/ghost_luminaire.zip
As you can see from the .pic file there's a "ghost" luminaire to the
centre left of the image which appears to be generated by the luminaire
visible in the centre of the image (turning off the others while
leaving it on still shows the ghost while vice-versa doesn't). Rotating
the view to the right also removes the "ghost".
The commands we're running to generate the image are as follows:
oconv -f Monday.map Monday.rad > ghost_lum.oct
rpict -w -t 2 -vtv -vp 6.300 8.100 1.800 -vd -2.800 -3.600 0.000 -vu 0
0 1 -vh 80.000 -vv 60.000 -x 1600 -y 1600 -x 64 -y 64 -ps 6 -pt 0.100
-pj 1.0 -dj 0.350 -ds 0.300 -dt 0.250 -dc 0.350 -dr 2 -dp 128 -st 0.500
-ab 2 -aa 0.150 -ar 64 -ad 128 -as 64 -lr 6 -lw 0.005 -av 0.000 0.000
0.000 -af temp.amb ghost_lum.oct >amb.raw
rpict -w -t 2 -vtv -vp 6.300 8.100 1.800 -vd -2.800 -3.600 0.000 -vu 0
0 1 -vh 80.000 -vv 60.000 -x 1600 -y 1600 -ps 6 -pt 0.100 -pj 1.0 -dj
0.350 -ds 0.300 -dt 0.250 -dc 0.350 -dr 2 -dp 128 -st 0.500 -ab 2 -aa
0.150 -ar 64 -ad 128 -as 64 -lr 6 -lw 0.005 -av 0.000 0.000 0.000 -af
temp.amb ghost_lum.oct >ghost_lum.raw
pfilt -m 0.25 -x /2 -y /2 ghost_lum.raw >ghost_lum.pic
If anyone has a few minutes to run this image on their systems & let
me know if the "ghost" luminaire also appears for you it would be most
appreciated (I'm using Radiance HEAD built from source on Windows 7
SP1).
Thanks,
