PBRT_V2 总结记录 <8> Primitive 和 Intersection

Primitive 类

class Primitive : public ReferenceCounted {
public:
	// Primitive Interface
	Primitive() : primitiveId(nextprimitiveId++) { }
	virtual ~Primitive();
	virtual BBox WorldBound() const = 0;
	virtual bool CanIntersect() const;
	virtual bool Intersect(const Ray &r, Intersection *in) const = 0;
	virtual bool IntersectP(const Ray &r) const = 0;
	virtual void Refine(vector<Reference<Primitive> > &refined) const;
	void FullyRefine(vector<Reference<Primitive> > &refined) const;
	virtual const AreaLight *GetAreaLight() const = 0;
	
	virtual BSDF *GetBSDF(const DifferentialGeometry &dg,
		const Transform &ObjectToWorld, MemoryArena &arena) const = 0;

	virtual BSSRDF *GetBSSRDF(const DifferentialGeometry &dg,
		const Transform &ObjectToWorld, MemoryArena &arena) const = 0;

	// Primitive Public Data
	const uint32_t primitiveId;
protected:
	// Primitive Protected Data
	static uint32_t nextprimitiveId;
};

类的作用：

（Shape不能表示Scene上的一个物体，因为Shape只有几何的信息，一个物体往往需要的还有是外观的信息(材质，所以 出现了Primitive ，既 包含了几何信息，又包含了材质信息)）

Although the Shape class provides a convenient abstraction for
geometric operations such as intersection and bounding, it doesn’t contain enough information
to fully describe an object in a s
