<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>if you have the full
spectro-data, there may be a different path: There is a tool called “glaze” (a
script found in the standard radiance installation). With this script, you can
convert Optics (“Optics” being the freeware program from the LBNL) spectral
data into a more detailed Radiance description (type “BRTDfunc”) by exporting
from Optics in “Radiance Format” and then entering this data in the “glaze”
script.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
