Hello ! Just reading the newest Scientific American I stumbled over the article 'Computers and Architecture', by Donald P. Greenberg of the comp. graphics program of Cornell University. In this article the radiosity algorithm is presented, including an example analogous to the SGI barcelona demo. It is Le Corbusier's chapel in Ronchamps. I wonder wether anyone has an idea where to get it's radiosity file (I tried to track via nic.ddn.mil, but negative). Moreover, I would also like some pointers on architecture software - like 3D modelers, gfo-viewers, etc. How is Alias ? TDI ? I think I don't need a modeler with animation, rather one very easy to use, with documented file formats (so that I can convert it into radiosity files). Another crucial component would be a radiosity calculating program. I will summarize the responses. Thank you, Rick@sunmanager.lrz-muenchen.de Scanning tunnel microscopy group at U of Munich, FRG
