The central program is <i>rpict</i>, which produces a picture from a scene |
| 85 |
|
description. |
| 86 |
< |
<i>Rview</i> is a variation of rpict that computes and displays images |
| 86 |
> |
<i>Rvu</i> is a variation of rpict that computes and displays images |
| 87 |
|
interactively, and rtrace computes single ray values. |
| 88 |
|
Other programs (not shown) connect many of these elements together, |
| 89 |
|
such as the executive programs |
| 822 |
|
Also, rather than roughness, specular power is used, which has no |
| 823 |
|
physical meaning other than larger numbers are equivalent to a smoother |
| 824 |
|
surface. |
| 825 |
+ |
Unlike other material types, total reflectance is the sum of |
| 826 |
+ |
diffuse and specular colors, and should be adjusted accordingly. |

The aBSDF material is identical to the BSDF type with two |
| 1165 |
+ |
important differences. First, proxy geometry is not |
| 1166 |
+ |
supported, so there is no thickness parameter. Second, an |
| 1167 |
+ |
aBSDF is assumed to have some specular through component |
| 1168 |
+ |
(the ’a’ stands for "aperture"), |
| 1169 |
+ |
which is treated specially during the direct calculation |
| 1170 |
+ |
and when viewing the material. Based on the BSDF data, the |
| 1171 |
+ |
coefficient of specular transmission is determined and used |
| 1172 |
+ |
for modifying unscattered shadow and view rays. |

If a material has no specular transmitted component, it is |
| 1186 |
+ |
much better to use the BSDF type with a zero thickness |
| 1187 |
+ |
than to use aBSDF. |
