It's the standard deviation of the facet slopes, and can range anywhere
from 0 to just short of infinity. Something around 0.3 might be a good
place to start.

Strictly speaking, with the current implementation a non-zero
lommel_seeliger setting gives you an average not of the Lommel-Seeliger
and Lambertian models, but of the Lommel-Seeliger and Oren-Nayar models,
with the Lambertian model just being the sigma = 0.0 special case thereof.
