1. The Command Line Options - To start with ....

The command line for RADical is something like :

RADical [-l] [-?] -i <scene_file_name>

The flags in [ ] are optional, the others are not so. The [-?] flag does not effect the trace, it merely prints the usage information for RADical.


  1. The Render Log -
    This is specified using the ` -l ' command line option. This produces a detailed log of the render in a file called ` render.log.' A sample of a render log
    is given below -
