Description
Radiance is designed to assist lighting designers and architects in forecasting the illumination levels and visual characteristics of a space before it is built. This software package comprises tools for modeling and converting scene geometry, luminaire specifications, and material attributes, all essential for the simulation process. Utilizing ray tracing techniques, the lighting simulation calculates radiance values—representing the amount of light that travels through a specific point in a designated direction—and typically presents these values in a high-quality photographic image format. Users can analyze, view, and modify the resulting images within the software, as well as export them to various widely-used image file formats, thus enabling the creation of printed outputs. Of particular importance to users is the primary component of the Radiance package: the lighting simulation engine, which not only determines light levels but also generates detailed images, allowing for enhanced visualization and assessment of lighting designs. Furthermore, this capability aids in refining the design process by offering insights into potential adjustments before actual construction begins.
Description
Integrating Monte Carlo ray tracing, analytical methods, CAD import/export capabilities, and optimization techniques, this system employs a comprehensive macro language to tackle various challenges in illumination design and optical analysis effectively. With TracePro’s intuitive 3D CAD interface, users can build models by either importing lens design or CAD files or by directly generating solid geometries. The software leverages a true solid modeling engine to deliver reliable and consistent models for various applications. Moreover, TracePro features a swift and precise ray tracing engine that accurately traces rays to all surfaces, including imported splines, ensuring that no intersections are overlooked and preventing the occurrence of “leaky” rays. One of the standout features of TracePro is its Analysis Mode, which provides a highly interactive environment for in-depth examination. In this mode, users can evaluate every surface and object both visually and quantitatively, enhancing the overall analytical experience. This blend of capabilities makes TracePro a powerful tool for professionals in the field.
