Sphere::Pdf does not return zero when wi points away from the sphere.
Thank you so much for the great book!
In chapter 14.2.2 Sampling Shapes, the second overload of Shape::Pdf
returns 0
if wi
does not intersect with the shape, which conceptually make sense. However, when Sphere::Pdf
overrides this method, its implementation never returns 0
if the second (general sphere PDF) path is chosen, even if wi
points away from the sphere. Is this a missed case in the code, or am I misunderstanding something here?
