FrustumRayBuilder

Provides methods to compute rays through an arbitrary perspective transformation defined by a {@link Matrix4d}. This can be used to compute the eye-rays in simple software-based raycasting/raytracing. To obtain the origin of the rays call {@link #origin(Vector3d)}. Then to compute the directions of subsequent rays use {@link #dir(double, double, Vector3d)}.

Functions

dir Vector3d dir(double x, double y, Vector3d dir): Obtain the normalized direction of a ray starting at the center of the coordinate system and going through the near frustum plane. The parameters <code>x</code> and <code>y</code> are used to interpolate the generated ray direction from the bottom-left to the top-right frustum corners.
origin Vector3d origin(Vector3d origin): Store the eye/origin of the perspective frustum in the given <code>origin</code>.
set FrustumRayBuilder set(Matrix4d m): Update the stored frustum corner rays and origin of <code>this</code> {@link FrustumRayBuilder} with the given {@link Matrix4d matrix}.
