954 + The aBSDF material is identical to the BSDF type with two important
955 + differences.
956 + First, proxy geometry is not supported, so there is no thickness parameter.
957 + Second, an aBSDF is assumed to have some specular through component
958 + (the 'a' stands for "aperture"), which
959 + is treated specially during the direct calculation and when viewing the
960 + material.
961 + Based on the BSDF data, the coefficient of specular transmission is
962 + determined and used for modifying unscattered shadow and view rays.

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