The render time seems to have magically dropped for some reason...

After brightening the radiosity to make the ship show up better, I
didn't like the big bright splotch on that one sail, so I dimmed the
light from the sun, forgetting it would affect the clouds (slaps head)!
I used light_groups to get it all how I want it.  I finally added
load_file to the radiosity too so I can rerender it faster, but that's
not what made it magically speed up, since this was the render I saved
the rad data from...

BTW, all renders on my site are now shown with a black background when
you click on them.  :)

All I got was a black page with a "back to the gallery" link showing.

Really?  That's not good.  It works fine on my computer, in both 
Netscape and IE.  There's always the image itself:

For some reason it was not getting the pic var then.  I know the php
script works, so it must be something with how the URL is handled.

That's pretty strange. You rendered this picture in a two-pass and it took
less time than earlier? Well.... How do you load the rad file? Because if
you replace the rad settings with a "load" then you don't get the same
radiosity.. I.e. the radiosity applied is not the same as when you use a
one-pass.. The saved file does not contain all information about how it
should be treated when applied to the scene.

Hugo

David:

The whole gallery appears to be broken.  Very nice images from the
thumbnails, BTW.  Please fix so we can view!

It works fine for me, and so does the rest of the gallery. I use 
Netscape 6.2, but since it is php it should be browser independent.

As the other posters said, there is no image. I looked into the HTML 
source generated by your PHP code, and found the reason: You are using 
backslashes in the path to the image:

<img src=".\renders\blackseasbarracuda3.jpg">

but PHP (to be more exact, the underlying webserver) requires forward 
slashes as path separators. The character sequence \r is actually a 
single ASCII character (13 => Carriage return), the same is true for \b 
(which is 8 => Bell). Just change this and it will work.

Hmm, it appears you're right.  I thought I had used the backslash
elsewhere, but I looked through my files and I guess I didn't.  I'll
change that and you tell me if it works.

Probably some browsers change the backslash to a forward slash, as it
worked fine for me in both IE and Netscape.  That or certain browsers
don't like the backslash.  BTW, PHP has nothing to do with it, as it
merely generates the HTML.  PHP uses C-style escape sequences, but the
PHP code had a double-backslash, resulting in HTML with one backslash.

That would be a client-side problem...
