Hallo,
what is the best parameters for dds.bash when using BSDF materials?
Well, I am testing a simple room with BSDF material ( which i obtained
using windows7beta); but the results are not convincing. it ranges +-20 %
from what i was expecting.
N.B: the parameters i used before for my annual simulations is:
*rtc="-ad 8192 -lw 2e-12 -n $cores" # render-options *( and it works
perfectly with glas material)
···

thx for your support

Hi Nassif,
It would be helpful to have more information about your scene and BSDF (and
what is dds.bash??)
I can think of two possible causes of your error:
1 - One of the problems with the Window BSDF data is that they have low
resolution. The averaging of flux over a BSDF patch causes the direct
sunlight to smear. The resulting sun patch is bigger and less bright.
This is illustrated in figures 12 & 13 of this paper:
http://gaia.lbl.gov/btech/papers/4414.pdf
2 - Using the BSDF material in a daylight coefficient simulation can under
estimate illuminance from direct sun. If your BSDF is for clear glass,
then it should be possible to improve it by setting ss to > 1 (like maybe 8
or 10). I think this works with rtcontrib...
You might also consider generating a high resolution tensor tree BSDF using
genBSDF. It'll definitely help with problem 1, and would help with problem
2 if your BSDF is clear glass.
Regardless though, I'd suggest 3-phase method for anual simulations using
BSDFs. It is much better for non-specular glazing.
