Building Anisotropic BSDF Surface

  1. Click File, Build anisotropic BSDF....

    A window appears.

  2. Click Add and browse .anisotropicbsdf or .abs files to add them to the Files list. The angle value from the files appears in the Angles list.

    You can select files in the list and click Remove to remove them form the list.

  3. Click an angle value in the Angles list to select it.

  4. In the Current angle (deg) box, type a value and click Modify.

    The selected angle value is modified.

  5. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each angle value you want to modify.

    Warning: Two angles cannot have the same value.

    • If your .anisotropicbsdf or .abs files have been measured with the same methods and/or acquisition settings, keep Normalize BSDFs unchecked.

    • If your .anisotropicbsdf or .abs files have been measured with different methods and/or acquisition settings, check Normalize BSDFs.

      As Normalize BSDFs performs an approximation on BSDFs, this will lower the accuracy of the combined .anisotropicbsdf file. Otherwise the new combined .anisotropicbsdf file will be incorrect.

  7. In the Result file box, click .

  8. In the Save as window, browse to select a location.

  9. Type a name in the File name box.

  10. Click Save.

  11. Click OK.

    A new .anisotropicbsdf file combining the data of the different files is created.
