Intersectable Class Reference

Base interface for all object types that can be ray-traced. The most important implementing classes are TriangleMesh and Transformed (usually referring to a TriangleMesh). A KDTree will build a hierarchy of Intersectables. TraingleMesh::Patch is also an implementing class, and a TriangleMesh contains a KDTree of patches. More...

Inherited by Cylinder, Occluder, PlaneXAligned, PlaneYAligned, PlaneZAligned, Sphere, Transformed, Triangle, TriangleMesh, and TriangleMesh::Patch.

Detailed Description

Base interface for all object types that can be ray-traced. The most important implementing classes are TriangleMesh and Transformed (usually referring to a TriangleMesh). A KDTree will build a hierarchy of Intersectables. TraingleMesh::Patch is also an implementing class, and a TriangleMesh contains a KDTree of patches.
