627 + 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.

642   A dielectric material is transparent, and it refracts light

947   Unlike other data-driven material types, the BSDF type is fully
948   supported and all parts of the distribution are properly sampled.

951 + .PP
952 + The sBSDF material is identical to the BSDF type with two important
953 + differences.
954 + First, proxy geometry is not supported, so there is no thickness parameter.
955 + Second, an sBSDF is assumed to have some specular through component, which
956 + is treated specially during the direct calculation and when viewing the
957 + material.
958 + Based on the BSDF data, the coefficient of specular transmission is
959 + determined and used for modifying unscattered shadow and view rays.

970 + If a material has no specular transmitted component, it is much better
971 + to use the BSDF type with a zero thickness than to use sBSDF.

973   .UL Antimatter
974   .PP
975   Antimatter is a material that can "subtract" volumes from other volumes.
# Line 946 | Line 984 | N mod1 mod2 .. modN
984   The first modifier will also be used to shade the area leaving the
985   antimatter volume and entering the regular volume.
986   If mod1 is void, the antimatter volume is completely invisible.
987 < Antimatter does not work properly with the material type "trans",
988 < and multiple antimatter surfaces should be disjoint.
987 > If shading is desired at antimatter surfaces, it is important
988 > that the related volumes are closed with outward-facing normals.
989 > Antimatter surfaces should not intersect with other antimatter boundaries,
990 > and it is unwise to use the same modifier in nested antimatter volumes.
991   The viewpoint must be outside all volumes concerned for a correct
992   rendering.

1196   .PP
1197   A mixture is a blend of one or more materials or textures and patterns.
1198 + Blended materials should not be light source types or virtual source types.
1199   The basic types are given below.
