Ashik2 is the anisotropic reflectance model by Ashikhmin & Shirley. |
| 628 |
+ |
The string arguments are the same as for plastic2, but the real |
| 629 |
+ |
arguments have additional flexibility to specify the specular color. |
| 630 |
+ |
Also, rather than roughness, specular power is used, which has no |
| 631 |
+ |
physical meaning other than larger numbers are equivalent to a smoother |
| 632 |
+ |
surface. |

The BSDF material type loads an XML (eXtensible Markup Language) |
| 886 |

file describing a bidirectional scattering distribution function. |
| 887 |
+ |
Real arguments to this material may define additional |
| 888 |
+ |
diffuse components that augment the BSDF data. |
| 889 |
+ |
String arguments are used to define thickness for proxied |
| 890 |
+ |
surfaces and the "up" orientation for the material. |

+ |
The first string argument is a "thickness" parameter that may be used |
| 901 |
+ |
to hide detail geometry being proxied by an aggregate BSDF material. |
| 902 |
+ |
If a view or shadow ray hits a BSDF proxy with non-zero thickness, |
| 903 |
+ |
it will pass directly through as if the surface were not there. |
| 904 |
+ |
Similar to the illum type, this permits direct viewing and |
| 905 |
+ |
shadow testing of complex geometry. |
| 906 |
+ |
The BSDF is used when a scattered (indirect) ray hits the surface, |
| 907 |
+ |
and any transmitted sample rays will be offset by the thickness amount |
| 908 |
+ |
to avoid the hidden geometry and gather samples from the other side. |
| 909 |
+ |
In this manner, BSDF surfaces can improve the results for indirect |
| 910 |
+ |
scattering from complex systems without sacrificing appearance or |
| 911 |
+ |
shadow accuracy. |
| 912 |
+ |
If the BSDF has transmission and back-side reflection data, |
| 913 |
+ |
a parallel BSDF surface may be |
| 914 |
+ |
placed slightly less than the given thickness away from the front surface |
| 915 |
+ |
to enclose the complex geometry on both sides. |
| 916 |
+ |
The sign of the thickness is important, as it indicates whether the |
| 917 |
+ |
proxied geometry is behind the BSDF surface (when thickness is positive) |
| 918 |
+ |
or in front (when thickness is negative). |
| 919 |
+ |
.LP |
| 920 |
+ |
The second string argument is the name of the BSDF file, which is |
| 921 |
+ |
found in the usual auxiliary locations. |
| 922 |
+ |
The following three string parameters name variables for an "up" vector, |
| 923 |
+ |
which together with the surface normal, define the |
| 924 |
+ |
local coordinate system that orients the BSDF. |
| 925 |
+ |
These variables, along with the thickness, are defined in a function |
| 926 |
+ |
file given as the next string argument. |
| 927 |
+ |
An optional transform is used to scale the thickness and reorient the up vector. |
| 928 |
+ |
.LP |
| 929 |
+ |
If no real arguments are given, the BSDF is used by itself to determine |
| 930 |
+ |
reflection and transmission. |
| 931 |
+ |
If there are at least 3 real arguments, the first triplet is an |
| 932 |
+ |
additional diffuse reflectance for the front side. |
| 933 |
+ |
At least 6 real arguments adds diffuse reflectance to the rear side of the surface. |
| 934 |
+ |
If there are 9 real arguments, the final triplet will be taken as an additional |
| 935 |
+ |
diffuse transmittance. |
| 936 |
+ |
All diffuse components as well as the non-diffuse transmission are |
| 937 |
+ |
modified by patterns applied to this material. |
| 938 |
+ |
The non-diffuse reflection from either side are unaffected. |
| 939 |
+ |
Textures perturb the effective surface normal in the usual way. |
| 940 |
+ |
.LP |
| 941 |
+ |
The surface normal of this type is not altered to face the incoming ray, |
| 942 |
+ |
so the front and back BSDF reflections may differ. |
| 943 |
+ |
(Transmission is identical front-to-back by physical law.)\0 |
| 944 |
+ |
If back visibility is turned off during rendering and there is no |
| 945 |
+ |
transmission or back-side reflection, only then the surface will be |
| 946 |
+ |
invisible from behind. |
| 947 |
+ |
Unlike other data-driven material types, the BSDF type is fully |
| 948 |
+ |
supported and all parts of the distribution are properly sampled. |
