Lambertian_BRDF_Model
The class Lambertian_BRDF_Model is a trivial
scattering model. It assumes the BRDF is uniform and
completely depolarizing. The reflectance is a function of
wavelength using the class Reflectance.

Description |
Default |

Wavelength of the light
in vacuum [µm].

0.532 |
type |
int |
Indicates whether the light is incident from above the
substrate or from within the substrate and whether the
scattering is evaluated in reflection or transmission.
The choices are:
0 : Light is incident from the above the substrate, and scattering is evaluated in reflection.
1 : Light is incident from the above the substrate, and scattering is evaluated in transmission.
2 : Light is incident from the within the substrate, and scattering is evaluated in reflection.
3 : Light is incident from the within the substrate, and scattering is evaluated in transmission.
For 1, 2, and 3, the substrate must be non-absorbing.
Lambertian_BRDF_Model supports type=0, type=1, type=2, and type=3.

dielectric_function |
The
optical constants of the substrate, expressed as a
complex number (n,k) or, optionally, as a function of
wavelength.
This parameter is ignored by this model.

Definition of public elements:
class Lambertian_BRDF_Model : public BRDF_Model
{
};
typedef Model_Ptr<Lambertian_BRDF_Model> Lambertian_BRDF_Model_Ptr;
The typedef Lambertian_BRDF_Model_Ptr behaves like
a pointer to an instance of class
Lambertian_BRDF_Model. The following statement
will query the user for an instance of class
Lambertian_BRDF_Model:
Lambertian_BRDF_Model_Ptr model = Get_Model_Ptr();
The next
statement will also create an instance of class
Lambertian_BRDF_Model:
Lambertian_BRDF_Model_Ptr model = "Diffuse_Subsurface_BRDF_Model";
See Model_Ptr<model>.
