implicit.rs

//! CPU sphere-marching of implicit surfaces (signed-distance functions).
//!
//! [`march_implicit_surface`] and [`march_implicit_surface_color`] accept a
//! user-supplied SDF closure, fire rays from the camera for each pixel, and
//! produce a [`crate::renderer::types::ScreenImageItem`] with per-pixel NDC
//! depth suitable for depth-compositing against scene geometry via Phase 12.
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! let opts = ImplicitRenderOptions {
//!     width: 320,
//!     height: 240,
//!     ..Default::default()
//! };
//! // Sphere of radius 1.5:
//! let img = march_implicit_surface(&camera, &opts, |p| p.length() - 1.5);
//! fd.scene.screen_images.push(img);
//! ```
//!
//! For colored surfaces supply a closure returning `(sdf_value, [r, g, b, a])`:
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! let img = march_implicit_surface_color(&camera, &opts, |p| {
//!     let d = p.length() - 1.5;
//!     let color = [200u8, 100, 50, 255];
//!     (d, color)
//! });
//! ```
//!
//! The returned item has `depth: Some(depths)` and `anchor: TopLeft` with
//! `scale: 1.0`. Adjust `scale` on the returned item if you rendered at a
//! reduced resolution (e.g. `scale = 2.0` for half-resolution rendering that
//! still covers the full viewport).
