345   A value of zero means that no jittering will take place, and all
346   reflections will appear sharp even when they should be diffuse.

363   Boolean switch for back face visibility.

366   This is dangerous unless the model was constructed such that
367 < all surface normals on opaque objects face outward.
367 > all surface normals face outward.
368   Although turning off back face visibility does not save much
369   computation time under most circumstances, it may be useful as a
370   tool for scene debugging, or for seeing through one-sided walls from
371   the outside.
372 This option has no effect on transparent or translucent materials.
