Detailed Description

Triangle mesh.

This class stores a triangle mesh object and provides numerous functions for querying the individual triangles. Subclasses of Mesh implement the specifics of how to create its contents (e.g. by loading from an external file)

Member Function Documentation

◆ rayIntersect()

bool Mesh::rayIntersect ( uint32_t  index,
const Ray3f ray,
float &  u,
float &  v,
float &  t 
) const
overridevirtual

Ray-triangle intersection test.

Uses the algorithm by Moeller and Trumbore discussed at http://www.acm.org/jgt/papers/MollerTrumbore97/code.html.

Note that the test only applies to a single triangle in the mesh. An acceleration data structure like BVH is needed to search for intersections against many triangles.

Parameters
indexIndex of the triangle that should be intersected
rayThe ray segment to be used for the intersection query
tUpon success, t contains the distance from the ray origin to the intersection point,
uUpon success, u will contain the 'U' component of the intersection in barycentric coordinates
vUpon success, v will contain the 'V' component of the intersection in barycentric coordinates
Returns
true if an intersection has been detected

Implements Shape.
