Member Function Documentation

void PathTracer::init ( ) [virtual]

Performs any initialization which may be necessary before beginning to render the underlying scene.

Note:: Default implementation ensures we have a valid scene and camera and calls init on both of them respectively

Reimplemented from Renderer.

Definition at line 20 of file PathTracer.cpp.

void PathTracer::_evaluate	(	const Ray &	ray,
		SpectralSampleSet &	outRadiance,
		PropertyMap &	data
	)			`[protected, virtual]`

Evaluates the radiance propogating in the opposite direction of the given ray using some type of illumination model.

Returns:: the spectral radiance emitted from the first surface intersected along the given ray in the opposite direction from the ray in the out param 'outRadiance'

Implements RayTracer.
