Cron setup for cygwin

########################################
# Cron configuration in Windows
########################################

$ cron-config 
Do you want to install the cron daemon as a service? (yes/no) yes
Enter the value of CYGWIN for the daemon: [ ] ntsec

You must decide under what account the cron daemon will run.
If you are the only user on this machine, the daemon can run as yourself.
   This gives access to all network drives but only allows you as user.
To run multiple users, cron must change user context without knowing
  the passwords. There are three methods to do that, as explained in
  http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-nopasswd1
If all the cron users have executed "passwd -R" (see man passwd),
  which provides access to network drives, or if you are using the
  cyglsa package, then cron should run under the local system account.
Otherwise you need to have or to create a privileged account.
  This script will help you do so.
Do you want the cron daemon to run as yourself? (yes/no) yes

* If cron run multiple users, it needs to change user context; therefore, the user passwords need to be kept in a place, which the service can access.
See http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-nopasswd1 for details. 

* passwd -R: enter password to store it in the registry for later usage by services to be able to switch to this user context with network credentials.

* If the cron daemon needs to run under the local system account, say no for the question above.

Please enter the password for user 'user': 
Reenter: 
Running cron_diagnose ...
WARNING: You do not currently have a crontab file.

... no problem found.

Do you want to start the cron daemon as a service now? (yes/no) yes
OK. The cron daemon is now running.

In case of problem, examine the log file for cron,
/var/log/cron.log, and the Windows event log (using /usr/bin/cronevents)
for information about the problem cron is having.

Examine also any cron.log file in the HOME directory
(or the file specified in MAILTO) and cron related files in /tmp.

If you cannot fix the problem, then report it to cygwin@cygwin.com.
Please run the script /usr/bin/cronbug and ATTACH its output
(the file cronbug.txt) to your e-mail.

WARNING: PATH may be set differently under cron than in interactive shells.
         Names such as "find" and "date" may refer to Windows programs.


$ net start cron

SVN setup with Cygwin and sshd

1. SSH setup

http://collagefactory.blogspot.com/2011/08/sshd-in-cygwin.html

2. Create svn repository

svnadmin create /home/svn

3. If you want to restore the repository from another location

svnadmin load /home/svn < [dumpfile-name]

4. Test

svn list svn+ssh://user@[ip address]/home/svn

5. If you want to use another port but standard ssh port '22', it is strongly suggested to edit '.ssh/config'.

Example of the content in '.ssh/config' with ssh port '515'

host localhost

        Hostname localhost

        Port 515

6. For TortoiseSVN, you may want to edit SSH client with new port configuration. In the 'Network', you can fill SSH client with the following:

"C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoisePlink.exe" -P 515

SVN Repository setup

Typical repository setup for SVN

trunk
the main line of development, the leading edge, where developers usually commit their regular changes.

tags
a collection of snapshots of the trunk (or a branch) at a user-defined point in time, for instance release day.

branches
active variations of the project compared to the trunk (or even another branch). This is useful when working out a (big) change that needs to be coordinated in a team or when using a single working-copy for the work with the changeproject is not feasible.

Hide account from any interface in Windows 7

1. Create the following key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

2. Add DWORD (32-bit) Value using account name with its value '0'

3. If you want it to show up, it needs to be set as '1'

4. If you hide your main account so that you can't log in, you need to log in with another account and use root command 'runas.exe.'

Create another command prompt with the following command, and run 'regedit' there.

runas /user:root cmd

Add an existing user into localgroup in Windows

Efficacy in Lighting

조명 디자인에서, 'efficacy'는 광원에서 생산된 빛의 량을 이야기한다. 이것의 단위는 루멘스(lumens)이며 그 빛이 량을 생산하기 위해 소모된 파워의 비율을 나타낸다. 이것은 efficiency와 혼동해서는 안된다. Efficiency는 입력과 출력의 무차원의 비율로서 가시 광선의 파워를 소모된 파워의 비율로 나타낸것이다. 가시 광선의 파워는 필라멘트의 온도에서 흑체에 대하여 플랑크 커브를 300nm와 700nm사이를 적분한 것에 의해서 그 흑체 커브 아래의 총 파워의 비율로 근사화될 수 있다. 열원에 대한 빛의 efficiency는 전형적으로 2%보다 작다.

Debug Luxrender with Visual Studio 2010

If you don't have debug mode in your Luxrender Visual Studio project, you may not be able to debug Lux. When you start debugging, it will show warning about 'No Debugging Information.'

In order to build with debug information, you need to generate debug info for luxrender project in the following way.

Go to luxrendr Property Pages -> Linker -> Debugging -> Set Yes for Generate Debug Info

Usually it's enough to debug Luxrender, but Visual Studio would get confused to trace the codes because of complicated compiler optimaization. If you disable optimization for liblux project, it would get clear to trace your code. You can disable compiler optimization for your liblux here.

Go to liblux Property Pages -> C/C++ -> Optimization

Especially, 'Whole Program Optimization' option optimizes your binary in code generation stage and takes long time to link your object files. It will decrease the link time significantly to disable this option.

Luxrender compile with VS2010

This documented is a guide to make development environment for Luxrender with VS2010. Because the guide to compile Luxrender in http://www.luxrender.net is based on VS2008, you may want to following instructions to compile it with the latest version of Visual Studio.

Note. This guide was tested with Luxrender x64, Windows 7 x64, and VS2010.

1. Check out sources from the repository

- You need a Mercurial client for this job

- Make an empty directory for the BASE

- Clone 3 sources into your BASE

- source: http://src.luxrender.net/lux/ destination: BASE/lux

- source: http://src.luxrender.net/windows/ destination: BASE/windows

- source: http://src.luxrender.net/luxrays/ destination: BASE/luxrays

2. Start the Visual Studio Command prompt

- You need to run x64 Win64 command prompt for x64 platform, otherwise you can run 32bit command prompt.

3. Goto BASE/windows

4. Run the appropriate build batch file

- Run getdeps.bat
- If you don't want to install OpenCL SDK, choose N3, N4 or A when you need to choose so that you don't have to download.
- Run build-vars.reg to register environmental variables
- Log out and log in for the changes to take effect

- Replace msvc-9.0 with msvc-10.0 in build-deps-*.bat
- Run build-deps-x64.bat
- It will make some errors while building FreeImage and LuxRays, since they are designed for VS2008.

5. Compile FreeImage

- Go to BASE\deps\x64\FreeImage3141\FreeImage and open FreeImage.2008.sln
- Convert the solution to VS2010
- Change run-time libraries to /MD for FreeImageLib, LibJPEG, LibMNG, LibOpenJPEG, LibPNG, LibRaw, LibTIFF, OpenEXR and ZLib
- Build Solution for Win64 Release

6. Compile Luxrender

- Go to BASE\windows

- Convert the solution to VS2010
- Build liblux for Win64 ReleaseNoOpenCL

- Build liblux

- You may want to change flex_on_path.bat and bison_on_path, since you may want to use flex and bison for Lux here.


- Add FreeImage.lib to Additional Dependencies


libboost_zlib-vc100-mt-1_43.lib
libboost_iostreams-vc100-mt-1_43.lib
libboost_thread-vc100-mt-1_43.lib


- Add ..\..\..\deps\x64\boost_1_43_0\stage\boost\lib to Additional library directories

..\..\..\deps\x64\FreeImage3141\FreeImage\Dist

- Build luxrender

Depth of Field

The depth of field (DOF) is the range between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appears acceptably sharp in a picture. A large DOF makes the entire image sharp, while a small DOF makes subjects clear but blurred out the foreground and the background.

In assignment #1, you need to make a shallow depth of field. Luxrender provides the perspective camera that can control the DOF by configuring lens radius. Increasing the lens radius will make a shallow depth of field, since small aperture does not disperse the ray that is penetrating the lens like large aperture. In Blender, you can control the lens size with f-stop. Smaller f-stop is larger lens radius.

In order to focus an object in a scene, you may want to configure focal distance. Focal distance is the distance between the camera and the subject that you want to see clearly in an image.

In addition, decreasing the distance between the focused object and camera will help to get a shallow DOF. You can find out DOF formulas in the article of Jeff Conrad or Wikipedia. From this formula, you can see that the DOF is decided according to the focal length and f-number of the lens, and the camera-to-subject distance. In addition, the DOF is inversely proportional to the camera-to-subject distance. So, it will be useful to make it close-up.

When moving camera close to the subject, you would miss some objects in your image. In this case, you can  put every object you want to include in the image by increasing Field of View.

Scaling down the scene will be helpful see the shallow depth of field also. When the model shrinks, the camera-to-subject distance will decrease also.
