Detailed Description

A material that visualizes surface normals as RGB colors.

This class maps the components of a normal vector (x, y, z) directly to the RGB color channels, providing an intuitive representation of surface orientations.

Member Function Documentation

GetRGB()

RGBColor GetRGB ( const Vector3D &  position, const Vector3D &  normal, const Vector3D &  uvw  )

overridevirtual

Calculates the RGB color based on the surface normal vector.

Parameters

position	3D position in the scene (not used for this material).
normal	Normal vector at the position, used for RGB mapping.
uvw	Texture coordinates at the position (not used for this material).

Returns

The RGB color corresponding to the normal vector.

Implements Material.
