Following the success of last year’s workshop on Scientific Applications of Radiance held in Fribourg, Switzerland, we have decided to host another workshop, this time incorporating a tutorial component. The first three days of the workshop, we will offer tutorials at the beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels. The final two days of the workshop will be a seminar similar to last year, with informal presentations by Radiance experts from around the world.
Registration fees will be assigned according to the following schedule:

A uniform discount of $100 will be given off the registration for each presenter. A CD-ROM with all workshop materials will be included with your registration. Attendees will also be offered the opportunity to preorder copies of Rendering with Radiance by Larson and Shakespeare, to be handed out at the workshop. Click on the following link to download and print the registration form.
The photo contest is now closed. The results will be announced at the workshop, and all entries will be made available on the workshop CD-ROM. (Deadline for rendering submissions was Friday, Sept. 12th.)
Tutorials will be given by John Mardaljevic and Greg Ward. Computers will not be provided nor required for the the tutorials, but if you would like to bring a laptop with Radiance 3.5 preinstalled under Linux or Mac OS X, feel free to do so. See the LBNL campus map for directions to building 90 and building 70.

We are planning a group activity for Thursday evening, which will likely include a walking tour of the UC Berkeley campus, followed by a visit to famous Telegraph Avenue and possibly even dinner. Details to follow.
We have not as yet applied for any special rates, but will be looking into this shortly. If you would like to book your own hotel accommodations, please refer to the LBNL Housing List as a good place to start.
Daily travel to and from the Laboratory is best accomplished by the free shuttle service, which visits a number of stops around the UC Berkeley campus and downtown Berkeley. See the offsite shuttle webpage for route information.
Judy has put together a flyer full of information on how to get to, in and around Berkeley. This includes important telephone numbers and contact information.
If you have any questions or concerns about any aspect of this workshop, please send e-mail to workshop@radsite.lbl.gov and we will respond as quickly as possible – usually within 24 hours.
