# Line 172 | Line 172 | If
172   is zero, then a diffuse source is assumed and no distribution is
173   created.
174   .TP
175 .BI d =string
176 Set the surface Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Function (BSDF)
177 to the given file.
178 The RADIANCE library path will be searched if the file does not begin
179 with a '.' or '~' character.
180 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.
189 If this variable has no setting or an integer is specified,
190 .I mkillum
191 returns to the default behavior of computing the output distribution
192 directly.
193 .TP
175   .BI s =integer
176   Set the number of ray samples per direction to
177   .I integer.
# Line 211 | Line 192 | will use the material type "illum" with the input surf
192   as its alternate material.
193   The default is
194   .I l-.
214 .TP
215 .BI u =[+|-]{X|Y|Z}
216 The given axis will be considered "up" for the purposes of interpreting
217 BSDF data specified with the
218 .I d
219 variable.
220 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.
223 The default up vector is +Z.
224 .TP
225 .BI t =real
226 Set the surface thickness to
227 .I real
228 in world coordinates.
229 This value is used for determining where to start rays that need to begin
230 on the opposite side of the surface, specifically to compute the incoming
231 distribution for a BSDF computation.
232 The default value is 0.
195   .SH EXAMPLES
196   The following command generates illum's corresponding to geometry
197   in the files "it1.rad" and "it2.rad":

209   group at EPFL in Switzerland.
