foton-daylight

Foton is an experimental GPU-based daylight transport engine for architectural analysis. It is not a replacement for Radiance or Honeybee. Instead, it explores whether the expensive ray-traced transport step in a Radiance-style daylight workflow can be moved to the GPU and made fast enough for interactive use.
