Detailed Description

LightShader that emits light uniformly from a surface.

The DiffuseLightShader class only emits light for directions where the dot product of the direction and the surface normal is positive.

Member Function Documentation

rgb DiffuseLightShader::emittedRadiance (  const HitRecord &  rec, Context &  context )  const [virtual]

Used for area lights. The area light's surface has been intersected, so the shader should return the emitted radiance at the hit point in the direction ray came from. Parameters: [in]  rec  HitRecord describing the hit point on the luminaire. [in]  context  Rendering Context containing the ray data. Returns: rgb value representing the emitted radiance. Reimplemented from LightShader.
