+	Ashik2 is the anisotropic reflectance model by Ashikhmin & Shirley.
+	The string arguments are the same as for plastic2, but the real
+	arguments have additional flexibility to specify the specular color.
+	Also, rather than roughness, specular power is used, which has no
+	physical meaning other than larger numbers are equivalent to a smoother
+	surface.

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