## Reflect
|
|
|
|
|
Calculate the reflection direction for an incident vector
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Declaration
|
|
|
|
|
```glsl
|
|
|
|
|
float reflect(float I, float N)
|
|
|
|
|
vec2 reflect(vec2 I, vec2 N)
|
|
|
|
|
vec3 reflect(vec3 I, vec3 N)
|
|
|
|
|
vec4 reflect(vec4 I, vec4 N)
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Parameters
|
|
|
|
|
```I``` specifies the incident vector.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```N``` specifies the normal vector.or.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Description
|
|
|
|
|
For a given incident vector ```I``` and surface normal ```N``` reflect returns the reflection direction calculated as ```I - 2.0 * dot(N, I) * N```.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```N``` should be normalized in order to achieve the desired result.
