Features

• Vector3

  • Addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication/division
  • Normalization
  • Dot and cross products
  • Triple scalar product
  • Angle and cosine of angle between vectors
  • Length (magnitude) calculation

• Polygon

  • Constructed from three vertices
  • Normal vector computation
  • Centroid calculation
  • Area calculation
  • Flat shading intensity based on a ray direction

Notes

• The code is written in modern C++17.
• The project uses -Wall -Wextra compiler flags for best practices and safety.
• Optimizations are enabled with -O2.
