[Radiance-general] Glare analysis of BSDF representation of light redirecting glass

[Humann Chris]

Dear group,

I have a BSDF description of a light redirecting glass generated with  
the following command:
genBSDF -n 8 -c 20000 -r -ab 6 -ad 1 +f +b -g- millimeter -dim 12.49  
12.51 12.47449 12.52551 -3.158 0

We are using this file to understand the effective light distribution  
of a particular product as well as calculating DGP.   We are wondering  
if the number of samples (20000) used per each of the 145 klems  
directions would be sufficient to give an accurate representation of  
glare when looking at the scene description from inside the space?   
I've looked for published studies of comparative glare analysis using  
DGP and BSDF files but have come up short.

Thanks as always,
Chris
