Explanation
- Vec3 Structure:
Vec3
is a structure representing a 3D vector withx
,y
, andz
components. It includes various vector operations such as addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, dot product, length, and normalization.
- Ray Structure:
- The
Ray
structure represents a ray with an origin and a direction. The direction is normalized to ensure it’s a unit vector. ThepointAtParameter()
Advertisementt
.
- The
- Sphere Structure:
- The
Sphere
structure defines a sphere with a center and a radius. Theintersect()
function checks if a given ray intersects with the sphere. It uses the quadratic formula to solve for the intersection points. If the discriminant is positive, there is an intersection, and the function returnstrue
Advertisementt
.
- The
- Main Function:
- In the
main()
function, a sphere is defined at position(0, 0, -5)
with a radius of1
. A ray is defined starting at(0, 0, 0)
(camera position) and pointing in the negative z-direction. The program checks if the ray intersects with the sphere and prints the intersection point if it exists.
