	RADIANCE WORLD ENVIRONMENT v1.0

This distribution provides the ability to maps a particular sky
onto a Radiance source primitive to create a world environment.
This environment can then be view as if it was an actual sky.
The sky images provided were created through the ALIAS modeling 
package and subsequently stretched and contorted as to appear normal
when mapped onto a sphere ( or in the Radiance case a source.)
	These sky environments do not deal with any sky illuminance
distributions as they are simply mapped colour images.  You can 
use gensky etc. to further modify these sky environment.
 
	
This distribution includes:

	- README	This file.
	- Makefile:	A standard radiance makefile.
	- All_skies.pic	A radiance picture showing all current 
			skys.
	- example.rad	An example of how to use the sky maps.
	- skymap.cal	The calculation file for mapping the sky
			picture onto a sphere.
	- exmp.vp	Viewing parameters file for example.
	- sky_pics	Directory containing sky pictures.

To look at the example use:

	make rview

To create a radiance picture use:

	make rpict

( pretty simple Huh? )
