What is BRDF?

Staffjamesfong1

BRDF stands for Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function.

BRDF describes how much light is scattered in different directions as it interacts with a surface.

Zc0in

The BRDF is the "Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function." It gives the reflectance of a target as a function of illumination geometry and viewing geometry. The BRDF depends on wavelength and is determined by the structural and optical properties of the surface, such as shadow-casting, multiple scattering, mutual shadowing, transmission, reflection, absorption, and emission by surface elements, facet orientation distribution, and facet density.
