E_R[f^R_\mathrm{diffuse}] + E_T[f^T_\mathrm{diffuse}] = S \le 1 \ .

At the default of zero anisotropy ($g=0$) the energy is balanced equally between diffuse reflection and transmission.
The diffuse transmission lobe shape (in both hemispheres) is assumed to be controlled by the **`base_diffuse_roughness`** parameter. 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). This model is useful for rendering cases such as light scattering through a thin sheet of paper (Figure [thinwalled]).

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.
