# Star-ScatteringFunctions
-This library provides a set of abstractions to describe the way the
-light is scattered at a surface with respect to a geometric optics model. It
-defines interfaces to describe Bidirectional Reflectance|Transmittance
-Distribution Functions (BRDF & BTDF), microfacet distributions and Fresnel
-terms. Several built-in implementation of these interfaces are provided as
-specular, lambertian and microfacet reflections, Beckmann and Blinn microfacet
-distributions, or dielectric/dielectric and dielectric/conductor Fresnel terms.
-
-Finally, complex scattering functions defines as a combination of several BRDFs
-and BTDFs are handled through a Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Function.
