-'''[[w:Bidirectional reflectance distribution function]]''' or '''BRDF''' is a 7D model containing geometry, textures and reflectance of the subject.
+{{Q|The '''bidirectional reflectance distribution function''' ('''BRDF''') is a function of four real variables that defines how light is reflected at an [[w:Opacity (optics)|opaque]] surface.

-The seven dimensions of the BRDF are as follows: 3 cartesian X,Y,Z and 2 for the entry angle and 2 for the exit angle of the light.
