Hi Andrea,

It is important to use the latest CVS head when generating Klems
distributions with genBSDF. David Geisler-Moroder and Christian Knoflach
discovered a bug in the corrections for Klems solid angles built into
wrapBSDF, which is called by genBSDF. These errors are on the order of
what you are seeing, so if you are using a distribution built before
November of 2016, this could well be your problem.

Best,
-Greg

definition below), I have obtained a particular angular transmission
behavior as showed in the pictures below. There is a particular increment
between 0? and 30? of the incidence angle, instead i was expected something
similar to the dashed lines in the graphs. Is it normal to have this
angular transmission trend? If not, how can I fix this problem?
