Package: Blended Radiance
System name: brad
Type: non-GNU

Description:
I've started developing a GUI for Radiance (a physically
accurate ray-tracer) based on Blender (a 3d authoring suite).
It is aimed at providing a flexible simulation environment
for lighting designers, with libraries of materials,
lighting fixtures photometries, weather data files, parametric
objects.
It is also planned to add a pdf/html reporting feature, that
automatically gathers the lighting project information and
creates a report with no extra effort.
Since it is using the Blender embedded Python scripting engine,
it is completely written in in Python, and only the source
code is provided. Additionally, I plan to add some pre-built
libraries of materials and parametric objects.
I've presented this project at both the Radiance and Blender
conferences, receiving a lot of interest, and I'm going to
get more people involved.
I haven't released yet the code, because I need to clean it
before sharing it. You can download it at the following

Other Comments:
This project is very specific, so I don't think it should be part of the
GNU project ...
Thanks!
Francesco
