# Line 64 | Line 66 | Each intermediate scattering file contains one of
66   the four components, and if the first component
67   is isotropic, all components must be isotropic.
68   A similar rule holds for anisotropic inputs.
69 + The
70 + .I \-l
71 + option may be used to specify the maximum number of lobes in any
72 + interpolated radial basis function.
73 + The default value is 15000, which generally keeps the interpolation tractable.
74 + Setting the value to 0 turns off this limit.
75   .PP
76   In the second invocation form,
77   .I bsdf2ttree
78   takes a functional specification of a BSDF.
79 < The named function must accept 6 parameters corresponding to the
79 > The named function should accept 6 parameters corresponding to the
80   normalized incident and exiting vectors, respectively.
81   By convention, these vectors point away from the surface, and a positive
82   Z-component corresponds to the front side.
83   The Y-component corresponds to the "up" orientation of the surface,
84   as specified in the eventual scene description that references the XML
85   output.
86 + If the function only takes 3 parameters, then the variables "Dx", "Dy",
87 + and "Dz" will be assigned to the reverse of the outgoing direction at
88 + each evaluation.
89 + (I.e., the vector will point into the surface and
90 + Dz will be negative on the front side.)\0
91 + This simplifies conversion of functional BSDF specifications using the
92 + legacy material primitives "plasfunc", "metfunc", and "transfunc".
