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

666 + .I "rfdif gfdif bfdif"
667 + for front and
668 + .I "rbdif gbdif bbdif"
669 + for back)
670 + and diffuse transmittance (
671 + .I "rtdif gtdif btdif"
672 + ) should be less than 1 for each
673 + channel.
674 + .PP
675 + Unique to this material, separate modifier channels are
676 + provided for each component.
677 + The main modifier is used on the diffuse reflectance, both
678 + front and back.
679 + The
680 + .I rs_mod
681 + modifier is used for specular reflectance.
682 + If "void" is given for
683 + .I rs_mod,
684 + then the specular reflection color will be white.
685 + The special "inherit" keyword may also be given, in which case
686 + specular reflectance will share the main modifier.
687 + This behavior is replicated for the specular transmittance modifier
688 + .I ts_mod,
689 + which has its own independent roughness expressions.
690 + Finally, the diffuse transmittance modifier is given as
691 + .I td_mod,
692 + which may also be "void" or "inherit".
693 + Note that any spectra or color for specular components must be
694 + carried by the named modifier(s).
695 + .PP
696 + The main advantage to this material over BRTDfunc and
697 + other programmable types described below is that the specular sampling is
698 + well-defined, so that all components are fully computed.

945 + The BSDF material type loads an XML (eXtensible Markup Language)
946 + file describing a bidirectional scattering distribution function.
947 + Real arguments to this material may define additional
948 + diffuse components that augment the BSDF data.
949 + String arguments are used to define thickness for proxied
950 + surfaces and the "up" orientation for the material.

959 + .DE
960 + The first string argument is a "thickness" parameter that may be used
961 + to hide detail geometry being proxied by an aggregate BSDF material.
962 + If a view or shadow ray hits a BSDF proxy with non-zero thickness,
963 + it will pass directly through as if the surface were not there.
964 + Similar to the illum type, this permits direct viewing and
965 + shadow testing of complex geometry.
966 + The BSDF is used when a scattered (indirect) ray hits the surface,
967 + and any transmitted sample rays will be offset by the thickness amount
968 + to avoid the hidden geometry and gather samples from the other side.
969 + In this manner, BSDF surfaces can improve the results for indirect
970 + scattering from complex systems without sacrificing appearance or
971 + shadow accuracy.
972 + If the BSDF has transmission and back-side reflection data,
973 + a parallel BSDF surface may be
974 + placed slightly less than the given thickness away from the front surface
975 + to enclose the complex geometry on both sides.
976 + The sign of the thickness is important, as it indicates whether the
977 + proxied geometry is behind the BSDF surface (when thickness is positive)
978 + or in front (when thickness is negative).
979 + .LP
980 + The second string argument is the name of the BSDF file, which is
981 + found in the usual auxiliary locations.
982 + The following three string parameters name variables for an "up" vector,
983 + which together with the surface normal, define the
984 + local coordinate system that orients the BSDF.
985 + These variables, along with the thickness, are defined in a function
986 + file given as the next string argument.
987 + An optional transform is used to scale the thickness and reorient the up vector.
988 + .LP
989 + If no real arguments are given, the BSDF is used by itself to determine
990 + reflection and transmission.
991 + If there are at least 3 real arguments, the first triplet is an
992 + additional diffuse reflectance for the front side.
993 + At least 6 real arguments adds diffuse reflectance to the rear side of the surface.
994 + If there are 9 real arguments, the final triplet will be taken as an additional
995 + diffuse transmittance.
996 + All diffuse components as well as the non-diffuse transmission are
997 + modified by patterns applied to this material.
998 + The non-diffuse reflection from either side are unaffected.
999 + Textures perturb the effective surface normal in the usual way.
1000 + .LP
1001 + The surface normal of this type is not altered to face the incoming ray,
1002 + so the front and back BSDF reflections may differ.
1003 + (Transmission is identical front-to-back by physical law.)\0
1004 + If back visibility is turned off during rendering and there is no
1005 + transmission or back-side reflection, only then the surface will be
1006 + invisible from behind.
1007 + Unlike other data-driven material types, the BSDF type is fully
1008 + supported and all parts of the distribution are properly sampled.

1010 + .UL aBSDF
1011 + .PP
1012 + The aBSDF material is identical to the BSDF type with two important
1013 + differences.
1014 + First, proxy geometry is not supported, so there is no thickness parameter.
1015 + Second, an aBSDF is assumed to have some specular through component
1016 + (the 'a' stands for "aperture"), which
1017 + is treated specially during the direct calculation and when viewing the
1018 + material.
1019 + Based on the BSDF data, the coefficient of specular transmission is
1020 + determined and used for modifying unscattered shadow and view rays.

1488 +        Px, Py, Pz              - intersection point
1489 +        T                       - distance from start
1490 +        Ts                      - single ray (shadow) distance
1491          Rdot                    - cosine between ray and normal

1493          arg(i)                  - i'th real argument
1494   .DE
1495 + For mesh objects, the local surface coordinates are available:
1496 + .DS
1497 +        Lu, Lv                  - local (u,v) coordinates
1498 + .DE
1499   For BRDF types, the following variables are defined as well:
1500   .DS
1501          NxP, NyP, NzP           - perturbed surface normal
# Line 1222 | Line 1510 | If no file is needed by a given primitive because all
1510   variables are global, a period (`.') can be given in
1511   place of the file name.
1512   It is also possible to give an expression instead of a straight
1513 < variable name in a scene file, although such expressions should
1514 < be kept simple as they cannot contain any white space.
1227 < Also, functions (requiring parameters)
1513 > variable name in a scene file.
1514 > Functions (requiring parameters)
1515   must be given as names and not as expressions.
1516   .PP
1517   Constant expressions are used as an optimization in function
# Line 1388 | Line 1675 | converts a picture to and from simpler formats.
1675   Pictures may be displayed directly under X11 using the program
1676   .I ximage,
1677   or converted a standard image format.
1678 < .I Ra_avs
1679 < converts to and from AVS image format.
1393 < .I Ra_pict

1399 – .I Ra_pr24
1400 – converts to and from Sun 24-bit rasterfile format.
1682   .I Ra_ps
1683   converts to PostScript color and greyscale formats.
1684   .I Ra_rgbe
# Line 1413 | Line 1694 | converts to and from Radiance CIE picture format.
