Revision history [back]

First of all, findglare and glareindx are fairly old programs in the Radiance suite. Since their publication, an entire glare metric (DGP) and tool for calculating DGP (evalglare) have emerged and been added to the Radiance distribution. DGP is more focused on daylight glare (hence the 'D' in DGP), so perhaps you're going more of an electric lighting glare study, but wanted to make this point.

ASSuming you are indeed looking at an electric lighting glare evaluation, I'd say based on these warnings you have an issue with the input HDR image, your chosen area of interest (angles in the -ga option), or both.

The person best qualified to answer these questions is Greg Ward but I'm not sure he monitors this forum as frequently as he (and the rest of the Radiance community) monitors the Radance Discourse forums here: https://discourse.radiance-online.org/

Maybe try reposting your issue there...
