"Extremely powerful simulation engine for ray tracing of light"

5/5

What do you like best about Radiance?

Extremely powerful simulation engine for ray tracing of light. I like that the renders from simulations using the Radiance engine are physically accurate in portraying the behaviour of light in a space. That adds a lot of value to the simulations in diverse ways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Radiance?

The availability of manuals, tutorials seems somewhat limited or remains within the community so I found it hard to get hold of them and get into the groove in the beginning. But then I was able to figure things out which was fun. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Radiance:

Take your time to learn it. It's totally worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Radiance solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Radiance to run daylighting simulations using Climate Studio and DIVA on the Rhino Grasshopper Platform. I also use Lightstanza for some of the daylighting simulations which also uses the Radiance simulation engine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Works as intended but limiting"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Radiance?

I like the wide variety of reports available to me. It's important to be able to get a look at a lot different info at once with this program Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Radiance?

While I like the reports, the learning curve to getting the reports to do what I want them to do has been huge. I wish there were more preloaded reports that could be easily tweaked for my needs. I dread having to train someone on reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Radiance:

It works it just takes a lot of implementation time to get it to do what you want. Lean on support and learn about everything they can do for you before deciding your path to implementation. I think it's easier to go bigger right away then to redo and add on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Radiance solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our ETL flow has improved, I will say that. After signing on with Radiance, we realized we were much further behind than we thought we were. Radiance has brought a work flow that we really didn't know was possible based on our other applications we have to keep in mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
