1079 >        The first string argument is a &quot;thickness&quot; parameter that may be used
1080          to hide detail geometry being proxied by an aggregate BSDF material.
1081          If a view or shadow ray hits a BSDF proxy with non-zero thickness,
1082          it will pass directly through as if the surface were not there.

1092          a parallel BSDF surface may be
1093          placed slightly less than the given thickness away from the front surface
1094          to enclose the complex geometry on both sides.
1095 +        The sign of the thickness is important, as it indicates
1096 +        whether the proxied geometry is behind the BSDF
1097 +        surface (when thickness is positive) or in front (when
1098 +        thickness is negative).
1099   <p>
1100 <        The second string argument is the name of the BSDF file, which is
1101 <        found in the usual auxiliary locations.
1102 <        The following three string parameters name variables for an "up" vector,
1103 <        which together with the surface normal, define the
1104 <        local coordinate system that orients the BSDF.
1105 <        These variables, along with the thickness, are defined in a function
1106 <        file given as the next string argument.
1107 <        An optional transform is used to scale the thickness and reorient the up vector.

1110 <        If no real arguments are given, the BSDF is used by itself to determine
1111 <        reflection and transmission.
1112 <        If there are at least 3 real arguments, the first triplet is an
1113 <        additional diffuse reflectance for the front side.
1114 <        At least 6 real arguments adds diffuse reflectance to the rear side of the surface.
1115 <        If there are 9 real arguments, the final triplet will be taken as an additional
1116 <        diffuse transmittance.
1117 <        All diffuse components as well as the non-diffuse transmission are
1118 <        modified by patterns applied to this material.
1119 <        The non-diffuse reflection from either side are unaffected.
1120 <        Textures perturb the effective surface normal in the usual way.

1123 <        The surface normal of this type is not altered to face the incoming ray,
1124 <        so the front and back BSDF reflections may differ.

1126 <        If back visibility is turned off during rendering and there is no
1127 <        transmission or back-side reflection, only then the surface will be
1128 <        invisible from behind.
1129 <        Unlike other data-driven material types, the BSDF type is fully
1130 <        supported and all parts of the distribution are properly sampled.
