LYGIA Shader Library

direction (lygia/v1.1.6/lighting/ray/direction)

set the direction (and origin in some cases) of a ray

Dependencies:

Use:

rayDirection(inout <Ray> ray, [<vec3> origin,] <vec2> pos, <vec2> resolution, <float> fov)
<Ray> rayDirection(<vec3> origin, <vec2> pos, <vec2> resolution, <float> fov)
