I've been asked about exporting a texture from 3ds Max as a Radiance pattern. I think this can be done with a "mesh" object, but I am unclear on the details. Has anyone done it and, if not, where in the code do I go to learn more?

The established way seems to be to export to OBJ with UV texture
coordinates and use obj2mesh to convert it.

Thanks.
Partly it does answer, but only partly. I'm unclear on how the Lu and Lv coordinates are mapped to the mesh geometry.
Maybe I'd better do more searching in the mailing list archives.

The (Lu,Lv) coordinates are extracted and interpolated from the vertex texture ('vt') coordinates in the .OBJ file. These are usually produced by the modeling system when the texture is applied. You can refer to the obj2mesh man page:

Hi Randolph,
Not quite sure what you are looking for, perhaps this is a good starting point though:
http://www.radiance-online.org/pipermail/radiance-general/2003-October/001029.html
If I remember, Lu/Lv coordinates are mapped over a normalized space relating to the aspect ratio of the image being textured....
