Function libraymarcher::cast_ray

pub fn cast_ray<C: Color, O: SceneObject<C>>(
    object: &O, 
    point: Vec3, 
    dir: Vec3, 
    backplanes: Vec3, 
    t: f64
) -> Option<RayResult>

Performs the raymarching algorithm on a scene.

Arguments

• object: the object/scene to calculate ray intersection with
• point: the origin point of this ray
• direction: direction vector of this ray. This does not need to be normalized.
• backplanes: if the ray ever reaches outside of the cube bounded by +/- backplanes, it will be assumed to be a miss. This is a sort of culling mechanism.
• t: the 4th dimension (or other varied value) to pass to the object for animation purposes.

Returns

Some(result) if the ray hit an object in the scene None if the ray did not hit anything or hit one of the backplanes
