Detailed Description

Class for Cube objects.

This class provides an Object which is a Cube at the origin with "radius" 1. That is, a Cube that extends from \(-1\) to \(+1\) along each axis, as illustrated below:

Note that the Cube provided in the skeleton code is not complete and returns no RayIntersections from intersect(). This method needs to be implemented correctly as part of the labs/assignment.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Cube() [1/2]

Cube::Cube

(

)

Cube default constructor.

A newly constructed Cube extending from \(-1\) to \(+1\) along each axis. It may be moved, rotated, and scaled through its transform member.

Cube() [2/2]

Cube::Cube

(

const Cube &

cube

)

Cube copy constructor.

Parameters

cube	The Cube to copy.

~Cube()

Cube::~Cube

(

)

Cube destructor.

Member Function Documentation

intersect()

std::vector< RayIntersection > Cube::intersect ( const Ray &  ray ) const

virtual

Cube-Ray intersection computation.

Todo:

The Cube-Ray intersection needs to be implemented as part of the assignment.

Intersection with a Cube can be seen as six instances of intersection with a Plane. However, these planes are oriented to align to different pairs of axes, and do not pass through the origin.

Parameters

ray	The Ray to intersect with this Cube.

Returns

A list (std::vector) of intersections, which may be empty.

Implements Object.

operator=()

Cube & Cube::operator=

(

const Cube &

cube

)

Cube assignment operator.

Parameters

cube	The Cube to assign to this.

Returns

A reference to this to allow for chaining of assignment.
