.SH DESCRIPTION |
| 41 |
|
.I GenBSDF |
| 42 |
|
computes a bidirectional scattering distribution function from |

To turn off backward components, use the |
| 66 |
|
.I \-backward |
| 67 |
|
option. |
| 68 |
< |
Computing both components takes about twice as long as one component. |
| 68 |
> |
Computing both components takes about twice as long as one component, but |
| 69 |
> |
is recommended when rays will be impinging from either side. |

.PP |
| 71 |
+ |
The |
| 72 |
+ |
.I \+C |
| 73 |
+ |
option specifies that the output XML should include color information, |
| 74 |
+ |
which is interpreted by the rendering programs. |
| 75 |
+ |
The default option |
| 76 |
+ |
.I \-C |
| 77 |
+ |
reduces all BSDF data to grayscale. |
| 78 |

.PP |
| 79 |
|
The geometry must fit a rectangular profile, whose width is along the X-axis, |
| 80 |
|
height is in the Y-axis, and depth is in the Z-axis. |
| 81 |
|
The positive Z-axis points into the room, and the input geometry should |
| 101 |
|
This value defaults to 2000 samples distributed over the incoming plane |
| 102 |
|
for each of the 145 Klems hemisphere directions. |

In some cases, the processing time may be reduced by the |
| 104 |
> |
On multi-core machines, processing time may be reduced by the |
| 105 |
|
.I \-n |
| 106 |
|
option, which specifies the number of simultaneous |
| 87 |
– |
.I rtrace(1) |
| 107 |
|
processes to run in |
| 108 |
< |
.I rtcontrib(1). |
| 108 |
> |
.I rcontrib(1). |
| 109 |
|
The |
| 110 |
|
.I \-r |
| 111 |
|
option may be used to specify a set of quoted arguments to be |
| 112 |
|
included on the |
| 113 |
< |
.I rtcontrib |
| 113 |
> |
.I rcontrib |
| 114 |
|
command line. |

|
.PP |
| 116 |
|
The |
| 117 |
+ |
.I \-W |
| 118 |
+ |
option is passed to |
| 119 |
+ |
.I wrapBSDF(1) |
| 120 |
+ |
to prepare the XML file for WINDOW6. |
| 121 |
+ |
Any |
| 122 |
+ |
.I \-s |
| 123 |
+ |
parameters are passed to the |
| 124 |
+ |
.I \-f |
| 125 |
+ |
option of |
| 126 |
+ |
.I wrapBSDF, |
| 127 |
+ |
controlling XML fields such as |
| 128 |
+ |
the Manufacturer (e.g., -s m=MF) and device Name (e.g, -s n=NM). |
| 129 |
+ |
.PP |
| 130 |
+ |
The |
| 131 |
|
.I \-t4 |
| 132 |
|
mode computes a non-uniform BSDF represented as a rank 4 tensor tree, |
| 133 |
|
suitable for use in the Radiance rendering tools. |
| 162 |
|
Again, the parameter to this option sets the maximum resolution as |
| 163 |
|
a power of 2 in each dimension, but in this case there is one less |
| 164 |
|
dimension being sampled. |
| 165 |
+ |
.PP |
| 166 |
+ |
The |
| 167 |
+ |
.I \-recover |
| 168 |
+ |
option is available for continuing calculations that were killed by |
| 169 |
+ |
the system or the user. |
| 170 |
+ |
Unfortunately, genBSDF puts its temporary files in a directory |
| 171 |
+ |
that is often cleaned up after reboot, so this may not always work. |
