Detailed Description

Function Documentation

◆ computeBoxFaceTriangles()

std::array< AreaTriangle, 12 > ToyMaker::computeBoxFaceTriangles ( const std::array< glm::vec3, 8 > & boxCorners)

Generates a list of triangles making up the surface of a box situated somewhere in the world, given the coordinates of its corners.

Parameters
boxCornersAn array containing coordinates for the corners of a box located somewhere in the world.
Returns
std::array<AreaTriangle, 12> The triangles representing the faces of the box.

◆ computeIntersection() [1/2]

std::pair< bool, glm::vec3 > ToyMaker::computeIntersection ( const Ray & ray,
const AreaTriangle & triangle )

Returns a bool-vector pair, with bool indicating whether a point of intersection was found, and the vector containing the point of intersection.

Warning
Error if invalid ray or triangle specified (triangle with no area, or ray with no direction)

◆ computeIntersection() [2/2]

std::pair< bool, glm::vec3 > ToyMaker::computeIntersection ( const Ray & ray,
const Plane & plane )

Returns a bool-vector pair, with bool indicating whether a point of intersection was found, and the vector containing the point of intersection.

Warning
Error if invalid ray or plane specified (plane with no normal, or ray with no direction)

◆ computeIntersections() [1/2]

std::pair< uint8_t, std::pair< glm::vec3, glm::vec3 > > ToyMaker::computeIntersections ( const Ray & ray,
const AxisAlignedBounds & axisAlignedBounds )

Returns an unsigned int and vector-pair pair, with unsigned indicating whether any and how many points of intersection were found with the AABB, and the vector containing the points of intersection.

(if the ray "glances off" the volume, it does not count as an intersection per my implementation)

Warning
Error if invalid ray or AABB specified, which includes an AABB with negative or zero volume.

◆ computeIntersections() [2/2]

std::pair< uint8_t, std::pair< glm::vec3, glm::vec3 > > ToyMaker::computeIntersections ( const Ray & ray,
const ObjectBounds & objectbounds )

Returns an unsigned int and vector pair pair, with int indicating whether and how many points of intersection were found, and the vector containing the points of intersection.

Object bounds only supports convex shapes, and so one can expect that if a point of intersection exists, then there will be a second to go with it. (provided the ray is long enough) (and also unless the ray "glances off" the volume, which counts as no intersection per my implementation)
