Guide on How to Utilize Measured BSDF Data to Create a Scatter Model in FRED



To utilize measured BSDF (Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Function) data and create a scatter model in FRED, follow these steps:

  • Navigate to the Tools folder in FRED.
  • Mouse over "BSDF data fitting" and select "Binomial/Polynomial data fitting."


    • Once you've accessed the fitting tool, proceed as follows:

  • Select your BSDF file. If you have a file prepared, such as one for diffuse black, open it.
  • For the selected BSDF file, change the type to "diffuse."
  • Set the fitting type to "regression fit" and define the parameters for N and M, typically ranging from two to three.


    • After configuring the fitting parameters, proceed with creating a perform fit:

  • Click on "Perform Fit," which generates multiple plots for each defined parameter.
  • Right-click on the plots to open and review them. These plots display the behavior of the BSDF function at each individual angle.


    • Once you've identified a suitable plot, follow these final steps to create the scatter model:

  • Highlight the preferred plot.
  • Navigate to the left-hand side and select "Create Model."
  • Close any unnecessary windows. You'll now see a fitted binomial model, created using the BSDF data file.
  • Right-click on the new scatterplot to explore various plotting options. For instance, you can select "angle linear" to visualize the behavior of each angle.

    • By following these steps, you can effectively utilize measured BSDF data to create a scatter model in FRED, enabling comprehensive analysis and modeling of scattering behavior.
