I am currently working on a basic raytracing program using C, and i have managed to so some simple shapes ex, sphere/box/plane/cone/..., and i also did some shading to them using phong illumination.
But my question is that i can get a hang of how i can ray trace a Hemisphere , like is there a set equation that define the Hemisphere if so enlighten me on it because i couldn't find any , or is there a set method to do it that i couldn't figure out.
I have also tried to tried to cut the sphere with a plane and only show the only the top half but it didn't work (I am still new to all this so my understanding may be wrong).
Edit: Ok, I am sorry because i am really new to all this but here is what i have tryied.
#include "raytacing.h"

//sphere position and radius

//plane normal
e->plane.norm.x = 0;
e->olane.norm.y = 1;
e->plane.norm.z = 0;
e->plane.color = (t_color){0, 255, 0);
return (e);
}

the e->t
is . supposed to be the closest distance to the camera so that i get an exact display of close and far objects
And here i tried to apply what Spektre
said and got some thing displayed and look like something like this:
And when i try to rotate it i get this:
Edit2 : After using Spektre
Method I got a functional Intersection of a Hemisphere and the intersection look something like this.
double inter_hemisphere(t_env *e, double *t)
{
double delta;
double sqrtd;
t_vect dist;
e->a = dot(e->r.direction, e->r.direction);
dist = vect_sub(e->r.start, e->sph.posi);
e->b = 2 * dot(dist, e->r.direction);
e->c = dot(dist, dist) - e->sph.rad * e->sph.rad;
delta = e->b * e->b - 4 * e->a * e->c;
if (delta < 0)
return (0);
sqrtd = sqrt(delta);
e->t0 = (-e->b + sqrtd) / (2 * e->a);
e->t1 = (-e->b - sqrtd) / (2 * e->a);
t_vect v2;
v2 = vect_add(e->r.start, vect_sub(vect_scalaire(e->t0, e->r.direction), e->sph.posi));
if (dot(e->plane.normal, v2) > 0.0)
e->t0 =-1.0;
v2 = vect_add(e->r.start, vect_sub(vect_scalaire(e->t1, e->r.direction), e->sph.posi));
if (dot(e->plane.normal, v2) > 0.0)
e->t1 =-1.0;
if (e->t0 < 0.0)
e->t0 = e->t1;
if (e->t1 < 0.0)
e->t1 = e->t0;
double tt;
tt = fmin(e->t0, e->t1);
if (tt <= 0.0)
tt = fmax(e->t0, e->t1);
if (tt > 1e-6 && tt < e->t)
{
*t = tt;
return (1);
}
return (0);
}
And here is the Result:
