[esp-r] Re: Radiance coupling and control of BSDF shadings

[Germán Molina Larrain]

Thanks Achim,

I will check better the TDFs.

About the BSDFs, those are good news! thanks very much... I will explore
more this. So, if I have a set of positions of my shading system (one BSDF
by each position), I should be able to control de BSDF in ESPr simulation,
changing it over time?

THANKS
