407   This material should be used sparingly, as it may cause the light

428   The prism1 material is for general light redirection from prismatic

429 > glazings, generating virtual light sources.
430   It can only be used to modify a planar surface (i.e., a polygon or disk)
431   and should not result in either light concentration or scattering.
432   The new direction of the ray can be on either side of the material,
433   and the definitions must have the correct bidirectional properties
434 < to work properly with secondary light sources.
434 > to work properly with virtual light sources.
435   The arguments give the coefficient for the redirected light
436   and its direction.

491   The scattering eccentricity parameter will likewise override the global
492   setting if it is present.

1111   The background coefficient is always (1-vname).
1112 Since the references are not resolved until runtime, the last
1113 definitions of the modifier id's will be used.
1114 This can result in modifier loops, which are detected by the
1115 renderer.
