Typically the diffuse lobes $f_+$, $f_-$ will be represented by an Oren-Nayar lobe flipped into the appropriate hemisphere (which technically should be modified due to the dielectric boundaries, though a renderer may choose to ignore this).

Note that in this mode, the **`subsurface_radius`** and **`subsurface_radius_scale`** are ignored and have no effect, since the scattering MFP is infinitesimal. + + This model is useful for rendering cases such as light scattering through a thin sheet of paper (Figure [thinwalled]). ![](images/thin_walled1.jpg width=99% align=right) ![](images/thin_walled2.jpg width=99% align=left)
