Bi-Directional Reflectance Distribution Function The bi-directional reflectance distribution function is a relatively simple mathematical equation that can be computed to predict exactly how a raycast or raytraced light ray will reflect off a given material in diffuse reflection. Use of the function greatly simplifies the seemingly random nature of light scattering, improving performance, without decreasing realism.
