Set the surface Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Function (BSDF) |

– |
to the given file. |
| 178 |
– |
The RADIANCE library path will be searched if the file does not begin |

with a '.' or '~' character. |

This file must contain an LBNL Window 6 XML specification of a valid |
| 181 |
– |
BSDF for the given surface, and all rays will be interpreted through |
| 182 |
– |
this function. |
| 183 |
– |
The orientation of the BSDF may be controlled with the |
| 184 |
– |
.I u |
| 185 |
– |
setting, described below. |
| 186 |
– |
The thickness of the surface may be controlled with the |
| 187 |
– |
.I t |
| 188 |
– |
setting. |

If this variable has no setting or an integer is specified, |

.I mkillum |

The given axis will be considered "up" for the purposes of interpreting |

– |
BSDF data specified with the |
| 218 |

.I d |
| 219 |
– |
variable. |

– |
The BSDF will be reoriented relative to the surface as necessary to keep |
| 221 |

the up vector in the vertical plane that contains this axis and the |
| 222 |
– |
surface normal, corresponding to an azimuth of 90 degrees. |
