CSE 681 Object Intersection

CSE 681 Object Representation Implicit forms F(x,y,z) = 0 Explicit forms Analytic form x = F(y,z) testing generating Parametric form (x,y,z) = P(t)

CSE 681 Ray-Object Intersection Implicit forms F(x,y,z) = 0 Ray: P(t) = (x,y,z) = source + t*direction = s + t*v Solve for t: F(P(t)) = 0
