Specular reflection
This layer models a GGX microfacet dielectric BRDF specular_brdf, conceptually right under the coating. Similarly to the coating, this BRDF is not itself energy conserving due to Fresnel laws, and the energy that is not reflected is completely transmitted to the underlying layers. The closure combination we use which expresses the energy balance between the reflected and transmitted specular lobes is then...
Coating
The topmost scattering layer is a dielectric coating with a GGX microfacet BRDF closure coat_brdf. As a dielectric, this BRDF is not energy preserving (i.e. its directional reflectance is generally less than one) as it obeys Fresnel reflection laws. The layer is assumed to be infinitely thin, and the remaining non-reflected light is passed directly to the underlying layer without refraction. The reflection color is fixed to white, though the coat medium color can be user controlled.
