Programming guide

• To get started with iset3d make sure that you've cloned the repos for iset3d and isetcam and added the contents to your Matlab path.
• You should keep your project in a separate directory (and if you use git for it, a separate repository).
• *iset3d is designed to: -- Provide functionality for converting from PBRT scene files to ISET data, and -- Contain clearly-written code, so that the scientific or engineering ideas are transparent to users (especially Stanford students!).
  -- Efficiency is valuable, but a secondary concern.
• The coding conventions follow the isetcam conventions. Specific **iset3d conventions are described below.

Naming conventions

We use the 'pi' prefix as a name space because the functionality converts PBRT to ISET.

Objects

The critical object for iset3D is the rendering recipe (see @recipe). This object contains the information describing how to write out the scene pbrt file that will be rendered. We are also planning on importing a @lens and related objects from CISET.
