Daylight Error

Hello everyone, using a new computer and for some reason the daylight component results in an error, even using example files downloaded from Hydra. I’ve attached a screen capture of the error.


Hi Arpan,

Radiance fails to generate the octree file correctly, which rtrace is complaining about. It can have several reasons but most probably is the result of a wrong material or sky. Can you check the folder and run <your project name>_RADInit.bat file after adding a PAUSE at the end of the file. This way you should be able to read the error.

In the future we should add an error log for init file so you don’t have to do that manually.
