Question about the SplitView BSDF calculate from Radiance

Hallo dear @chris,
I have noticed this debug details “SplitView BSDF” during a point in time analysis (PITViews) with the LBT version.

How It works and means that Radiance equally calculate the BSDF of the material even though no BSDF material are created using the _radBSDFMaterial?

Thanks in advance

Hi @LiamRuvio ,

The splitting of the view is how we parallelize view-based studies. Essentially each part of the image is rendered on a separate CPU. So that line of the log refers to that step of the recipe.

The reference to BSDFs is just an auto-generated side effect of how we manage the parallel tasks. It doesn’t mean that there are any BSDFs in the simulation.

Thanks for the explanation @chris.
