Struct TerellRenderer 

pub struct TerellRenderer {
    pub c: f64,
    pub observer_pos: Vec3,
}

Terrell renderer: renders fast-moving objects with apparent rotation.

Fields

c: f64

observer_pos: Vec3

Implementations

impl TerellRenderer

pub fn new(c: f64, observer_pos: Vec3) -> Self

pub fn apparent_vertices( &self, vertices: &[Vec3], center: Vec3, velocity: Vec3, time: f64, ) -> Vec<Vec3>

Compute apparent vertices of an object given its velocity. Each vertex is displaced to its retarded position.

pub fn render_object( &self, vertices: &[Vec3], center: Vec3, velocity: Vec3, time: f64, ) -> Vec<Vec3>

Compute the combined Terrell rotation + Lorentz contraction appearance. The Terrell effect means a sphere always looks circular (not contracted), but other shapes appear rotated.

pub fn full_render( &self, vertices: &[Vec3], center: Vec3, velocity: Vec3, time: f64, ) -> Vec<Vec3>

Full rendering pipeline: retarded positions + Terrell rotation.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for TerellRenderer

fn clone(&self) -> Self

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for TerellRenderer

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.
