Module tray_rust::geometry

The geometry module defines the Geometry trait implemented by the various geometry in the ray tracer and provides some standard geometry for rendering

Scene Usage Example

All geometry will appear within an object specification and requires the type of geometry being specified along with any parameters for that geometry.

An instance has a geometry along with additional information like a material and transformation to place it in the world, see the instance module for more.

Modules

animated_mesh	Defines an animated triangle mesh geometry. It is required that the topology of the mesh being animated does not change. While properties of triangles can be changed over time triangles can't be added or removed. Intersection test are accelerated internally by storing the triangles of the mesh in a BVH
bbox	Provide an Axis-Aligned Bounding Box type, BBox, with an optimized intersection test targeted for usage in a BVH TODO: Should I also implement the Geometry trait?
bvh	Provides a simple SAH split based BVH2 that stores types implementing the Boundable trait
differential_geometry	Defines the DifferentialGeometry type which is used to pass information about the hit piece of geometry back from the intersection to the shading
disk	Defines a Disk type which implements the Geometry, Boundable and Sampleable traits A disk with some inner and outer radius allowing it to have a hole in the middle. The disk is oriented with the center at the origin and the normal pointing along +Z.
emitter	An emitter is an instance of geometry that both receives and emits light
instance	Defines an instance of some piece of geometry in the scene, instances can re-use loaded geometry but apply different transformations and materials to them
intersection	Defines the Intersection type which stores information about a full intersection, eg. hit info about the geometry and instance that was intersected
mesh	Defines a triangle mesh geometry. Intersection tests are accelerated internally by storing the triangles of the mesh in a BVH
receiver	A receiver is an instance of geometry that does not emit any light
rectangle	Defines a rectangle centered at the origin, specified by its horizontal and vertical lengths
sphere	Defines a Sphere at the origin which implements the Geometry, Boundable and Sampleable traits

Traits

Boundable	Trait implemented by scene objects that can report an AABB describing their bounds
BoundableGeom
Geometry	Trait implemented by geometric primitives
Sampleable	Trait implemented by geometry that can sample a point on its surface
SampleableGeom
