Dear All,
Good day everyone! I am new to Radiance and I want to use this wonderfull software for my Phd in Architecture which involves a lot of simulation.Unfortunately I am aWindows user without time to learn Linux or Unix from scratch.I have looked at the different forms of the windows versions like Desktop radiance, but I discovered on some site that it is for "less serious" scientists. Is that true?Also I have been advised to use either CYGWIN or a CD-rom version from ftp://luminance.londonmet.ac.uk/learnix/
I may not be able to use cygwin 'cos it does not have resume and being in a developing country where electric power supply is not guaranteed, this is aproblem. Also the learnix version too does not have a resume capability(using DAP) variety for download. Pls I need some advice on what to do.
A big thanks to everyone and more grease to everyone's elbows!!!

Hi,
I am a new user of Radiance too, so I don't have enough information as well.
But if you know there is a windows base package which is named ADELINE. It makes the possibility to work with Radiance in Windows operating system.
you can have a look on it here: http://www.ibp.fraunhofer.de/wt/adeline/index.html
I hope it can help you.
Hopefully somebody who has more experience in Radiance can give you better Information.

There is also two different commercail tools that let you run Radiance under Windows, and might be better if you're just getting into Radiance but don't want to have to learn a Unix command line: Rayfront, a stand-alone lighting design package, and there's also a plug-in for 3D Studio Max that lets 3D Studio Max use Radiance just like any other rendering engine available to Max (ala Mental Ray).
However, with that said, I simply went with Cygwin. Your issues with crashing & resuming and such, well, you're right that Cygwin doesn't have the ability to resume, but Radiance actually does. If you crash or the system goes down, you just restart the job and Radiance picks up where it left off. One of the nicer things about it.
Hope this helps.
