A complete XML description is written to the standard output, |
| 58 |
|
which is normally redirected to a file. |
| 59 |
|
.PP |
| 60 |
+ |
The |
| 61 |
+ |
.I \-p |
| 62 |
+ |
option by itself turns off the progress bar, whose length may be set |
| 63 |
+ |
by an immediately following integer argument. |
| 64 |
+ |
(The default progress bar length is 79 characters.)\0 |
| 65 |
+ |
.PP |
| 66 |
+ |
The |
| 67 |
+ |
.I \-a |
| 68 |
+ |
option turns off reciprocity averaging for isotropic scattering or anisotropic reflection. |
| 69 |
+ |
Normally on (+a), this ensures that the tensor BRDF obeys Helmholtz reciprocity. |
| 70 |
+ |
However, in certain rare cases, reciprocity averaging can cause unwanted noise in the output. |
| 71 |
+ |
.PP |
| 72 |
|
The maximum resolution of the tensor tree may be controlled by the |
| 73 |
|
.I \-g |
| 74 |
|
option, which defaults to a value of 6. |
| 84 |
|
Setting this parameter to -1 turns culling off entirely, which may be |
| 85 |
|
useful for comparisons. |
| 86 |
|
.PP |
| 87 |
+ |
The |
| 88 |
+ |
.I \-n |
| 89 |
+ |
option controls the number of super-samples to send in patches whose |
| 90 |
+ |
difference to its neighbors exceeds some threshold. |
| 91 |
+ |
The default number of super-samples is 256. |
| 92 |
+ |
The difference threshold for super-sampling is controlled by the |
| 93 |
+ |
.I \-s |
| 94 |
+ |
option, and defaults to 0.35. |
| 95 |
+ |
.PP |
| 96 |
|
The first invocation form takes a intermediate scattering representation |
| 97 |
|
as produced by |
| 98 |
|
.I pabopto2bsdf(1) |
| 108 |
|
interpolated radial basis function. |
| 109 |
|
The default value is 15000, which generally keeps the interpolation tractable. |
| 110 |
|
Setting the value to 0 turns off this limit. |
| 111 |
+ |
Parameter options may be altered between input files, in case a different |
| 112 |
+ |
resolution or culling percentage is indicated for transmission versus |
| 113 |
+ |
reflection for example. |
| 114 |
|
.PP |
| 115 |
|
In the second invocation form, |
| 116 |
|
.I bsdf2ttree |
| 137 |
|
options, and should obey both Helmholtz reciprocity and |
| 138 |
|
integrate to less than 1 over each projected incident hemisphere |
| 139 |
|
for energy conservation. |
| 140 |
+ |
The variable and function definitions in each |
| 141 |
+ |
.I \-f source |
| 142 |
+ |
file are read and compiled from the RADIANCE library where it is found. |
| 143 |
|
If the |
| 144 |
|
.I \-t3 |
| 145 |
|
option is specified, the defined function is assumed to be isotropic. |
| 164 |
|
is recommended when rays will be impinging from either side. |
| 165 |
