Detailed Description

An interface for the acceleration structure.

Member Function Documentation

Accel::LM_INTERFACE_F	(	0	,
		Build	,
		bool(const Scene *scene)
	)

Build the acceleration structure.

Some scene may have an acceleration structure for the optimization. The function is automatically called by the Asset::Load function.

Parameters

scene

Loaded scene.

Return values

true	Succeeded to build.
false	Failed to build.

Accel::LM_INTERFACE_F	(	1	,
		Intersect	,
		bool(const Scene *scene, const Ray &ray, Intersection &isect, Float minT, Float maxT)
	)

Intersection query with triangles.

The function checks if ray hits with the scene. This function is supposed to be accelerated by spatial acceleration structure. When intersected, information on the hit point is stored in the intersection data. The intersection is valid only with the range of the distance between minT and maxT.

Parameters

scene	Scene.
ray	Ray.
isect	Intersection data.
minT	Minimum range of the distance.
minT	Maximum range of the distance.

Return values

true	Intersected with the scene.
false	Not intersected with the scene.
