The aBSDF 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 aBSDF is assumed to have some specular through component |
| 956 |
+ |
(the 'a' stands for "aperture"), which |
| 957 |
+ |
is treated specially during the direct calculation and when viewing the |
| 958 |
+ |
material. |
| 959 |
+ |
Based on the BSDF data, the coefficient of specular transmission is |
| 960 |
+ |
determined and used for modifying unscattered shadow and view rays. |

If a material has no specular transmitted component, it is much better |
| 972 |
+ |
to use the BSDF type with a zero thickness than to use aBSDF. |
