Main Distribution

The official LBNL Radiance distribution as of January 2002 is version 3.4, may be obtained from the following link:

    rad3R4.tar.gz (7.1 Megs - 7263349 bytes)

For convenience, the programs have been compiled on Linux, Mac OS X and SGI systems, and the binaries may be found in:

    radbin_lnx.tar.gz(7.1 Megs)

    radbin_lnx_static.tar.gz(55 Megs)

    radbin_osx.tar.gz(2.2 Megs)

    radbin_sgi.tar.gz(4.2 Megs)

The smaller Linux binaries are compiled with dynamically-linked libraries, and may or may not work on your particular distribution. If they do not, you will have to either compile Radiance yourself, or download the larger, statically-linked binaries.

You will still need to unpack the distribution to get the library files and example scenes, and users who do not have the above systems will have to compile Radiance using the included makeall script. (See the README file for details, and pay special attention to setting the RAYPATH environment variable.)
