.SH DESCRIPTION |
| 41 |
|
.I GenBSDF |
| 42 |
|
computes a bidirectional scattering distribution function from |
| 68 |
|
Computing both components takes about twice as long as one component, but |
| 69 |
|
is recommended when rays will be impinging from either side. |
| 70 |
|
.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 |
| 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. |
