Additional trait to allow use of shared_ptr

5

So, the way I understand it the issue with using shared_ptr as container is that there is a priory no way to cleanly create a shared_ptr from a raw ptr...

Primitive type references as return values/arguments of member functions

10

I tried something along the lines of: ``` c++ template void lua_register_vector(lua_State *L, std::string name) { using namespace luabridge; T& (std::vector::*at_ptr)(size_t) = &std::vector::at; getGlobalNamespace (L) .beginNamespace ("std_vector") .beginClass < std::vector...

The question of compressed texture formats came up in relation to https://www.khronos.org/ktx/ I started WIP json definitions here: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/ANARI-SDK/pull/186/ The gist is that a new sampler type `"compressedImage2D"` is introduced...

Two-sided Surface extension

3

Inspired by this: https://github.com/NVIDIA/VisRTX/issues/63 To accomodate face culling an extension could add additional material parameters `materialFront`, `materialBack` for surface objects. They would override the stock `material` parameter for that side...

Rendering algorithms may need to make decisions based on object/scene bounds. For rasterization APIs near and far planes need to be selected. Shadow mapping requires setting up a shadow projection...

Mipmap specification

1

Rasterization algorithms rely on mipmaps to avoid aliasing artifacts when sampling textures. For many use cases these can be automatically generated by downsampling the original image. However this approach is...

Somewhat related to #57 we should probably consider standardizing a way to define clip planes eventually. | Name | Type | Description | |--------|-------|---------------| | clipPlanes | `ARRAY1D` of `FLOAT32_VEC4`...
