| ) | [virtual] |
Tests the given ray with this object for intersection. If a valid intersection exists, its "t" value will be returned and the given SurfacePoint will be initialized with enough data for this object to later fill in all relevant information lazily (world space normal at intersection point, uv coordinates, etc.).
- Note:
- if you only care about whether or not an intersection exists and don't actually need to know the exact intersection point, see the intersects method instead.
- Returns:
- the smallest positive "t" value of any intersections found, or INFINITY if no valid intersection exists
Implements Intersectable.
Used for occlusion/visibility testing where you don't necessarily care about anything other than whether or not an intersection exists. (generally faster than getIntersection).
- Note:
- default implementation defers to getIntersection
- Returns:
- whether or not the given ray intersects this object with a positive "t" value greater than EPSILON and less than the given
tMax
Reimplemented from Intersectable.

- Default implementation sets the ModelView matrix appropriately with respect to this Transformable's transformation
