    Description
    void
    attenuate(Interior.Input in, Color3f outColor)
    Calculates the attenuation of a light ray as it travels through this interior.
    float
    getIndexOfRefraction(Spectrum spectrum)
    Returns the index of refraction of the interior.

  • Method Details

    • getIndexOfRefraction

      float getIndexOfRefraction(Spectrum spectrum)
      Returns the index of refraction of the interior. The computed index of refraction has to be averaged over the spectrum.
      Parameters:
      spectrum - spectrum for which the average IOR has to be computed
      Returns:
      index of refraction

    • attenuate

      void attenuate(Interior.Input in, Color3f outColor)
      Calculates the attenuation of a light ray as it travels through this interior.
      Parameters:
      in - the input data
      outColor - the outgoing color of the light ray will be placed in here
