819 +        Ashik2 is the anisotropic reflectance model by Ashikhmin & Shirley.
820 +        The string arguments are the same as for <a HREF="#Plastic2">plastic2</a>, but the real
821 +        arguments have additional flexibility to specify the specular color.
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.

1162 +        The aBSDF material is identical to the BSDF type with two
1163 +        important differences.  First, proxy geometry is not
1164 +        supported, so there is no thickness parameter.  Second, an
1165 +        aBSDF is assumed to have some specular through component
1166 +        (the &rsquo;a&rsquo; stands for &quot;aperture&quot;),
1167 +        which is treated specially during the direct calculation
1168 +        and when viewing the material.  Based on the BSDF data, the
1169 +        coefficient of specular transmission is determined and used
1170 +        for modifying unscattered shadow and view rays.

1183 +        If a material has no specular transmitted component, it is
1184 +        much better to use the BSDF type with a zero thickness
1185 +        than to use aBSDF.
