81 + The
82 + .I \-a
83 + option turns off reciprocity averaging for tensor tree output.
84 + Normally on (+a), this ensures that the tensor BRDF obeys Helmholtz reciprocity.
85 + However, in certain rare cases, reciprocity averaging can cause unwanted noise in the output.

87   The geometry must fit a rectangular profile, whose width is along the X-axis,
88   height is in the Y-axis, and depth is in the Z-axis.
