The system can produce two types of output. These are described below.
Images -
The user can press the 'c' key any time during the render to capture a screenshot of the preview window. The image is saved as a `.ppm' image. The naming of the image is automatic based on the input scene filename, for eg. captures of a scene file named cornell.scn would be named cornell_fr0000.ppm, cornell_fr0001.ppm and so on.
The Dump (Real time possibilities now !!) -
At the end of the render the user can dump the calculated values using the radiosity engine. The values are stored in a `.craw' format. This is just a dump of the scene i.e for every object in the scene it dumps all the triangles, in the form of vertices followed by its color. This file can now be given as input to the RADrt walkthrough program and a real time walkthrough of the scene can be generated.
