+While alternate materials that are reflective will appear as normal,
-+
+indirect rays will use the mirror's reflectance rather than the
-+
+alternate type.
-+
+Transmitting materials are an exception, where both transmission and
-+
+reflection will use the alternate type for all rays not specifically
-+
+targeting virtual light sources.
-+
+In this case, it is important that any reflections be purely specular
-+
+(mirror-like) and equal to the mirror's reflectivity
-+
+to maintain a valid result.
-+
+A pure diffuse reflection may be added if desired.
-+
+.PP
-+
+The mirror material type reflects light sources only from the front side
-+
+of a surface, regardless of any alternate material.
-+
+If virtual source generation is desired on both sides, two coincident
-+
+surfaces with opposite normal orientations may be employed to achieve
-+
+this effect.
-+
+The reflectance and alternate material type may be
-+
+different for the overlapped surfaces,
-+
+and the two sides will behave accordingly.

-+
+WGMDfunc is a more programmable version of trans2,

+with separate modifier paths and variables to control each component.
-+
+(WGMD stands for Ward-Geisler-Moroder-Duer, which is the basis for

-+
+The sum of specular reflectance (
-+
+.I rs
-+
+), specular transmittance (
-+
+.I ts
-+
+), diffuse reflectance (
-+
+.I "rfdif gfdif bfdif"
-+
+for front and
-+
+.I "rbdif gbdif bbdif"
-+
+for back)
-+
+and diffuse transmittance (
-+
+.I "rtdif gtdif btdif"
-+
+) should be less than 1 for each
-+
+channel.
-+
+.PP
-+
+Unique to this material, separate modifier channels are
-+
+provided for each component.
-+
+The main modifier is used on the diffuse reflectance, both
-+
+front and back.
-+
+The
-+
+.I rs_mod
-+
+modifier is used for specular reflectance.
-+
+If "void" is given for
-+
+.I rs_mod,
-+
+then the specular reflection color will be white.
-+
+The special "inherit" keyword may also be given, in which case
-+
+specular reflectance will share the main modifier.
-+
+This behavior is replicated for the specular transmittance modifier
-+
+.I ts_mod,
-+
+which has its own independent roughness expressions.
-+
+Finally, the diffuse transmittance modifier is given as
-+
+.I td_mod,
-+
+which may also be "void" or "inherit".
-+
+Note that any spectra or color for specular components must be
-+
+carried by the named modifier(s).
-+
+.PP
-+
+The main advantage to this material over BRTDfunc and
-+
+other programmable types described below is that the specular sampling is
-+
+well-defined, so that all components are fully computed.
