How to make the outline of the illuminance map smooth in Resultviewer of Openstudio?

I am learning to use Openstudio to simulation with EnergyPlus and Randiance as engines. When I follow the tutorial at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXnL6W8kXxQ to establish a single zone with two windows on the south facade and view the output generated by radiance via ResultViewer of Openstudio, my illuminance map looks quite different from the one generated in the youtube video.

In Youtube video, the outline within the illuminance map seems quite smooth while the outline in my illuminance map is quite stiff. What should I adjust to get the illuminance map with the similar looking in Youtube video? BTW my PC is Windows 7, 64bits and my Openstudio version is 1.13.0. My building model is the same size as in video and so is the grid point values of the illuminance map. I am quite fresh in this area, any advices would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Eh... my forum point is not enough to post the pictures for better illustration. Could some one please help to upload the pics? Thanks very very much.
