interactions.refractive_reflective_model

Interaction model for standard refraction and reflection

This module implements the RefractiveReflectiveModel class, which handles ray interactions with surfaces through refraction and reflection.

Classes

RefractiveReflectiveModel(parent_surface, ...)

Interaction model for standard refraction and reflection.
class RefractiveReflectiveModel(parent_surface: Surface | None, is_reflective: bool, coating: BaseCoating | None = None, bsdf: BaseBSDF | None = None)[source]

Interaction model for standard refraction and reflection.

flip()[source]

Flip the interaction model.

classmethod from_dict(data, parent_surface)

Creates an interaction model from a dictionary representation.

property geometry
interact_paraxial_rays(rays: ParaxialRays) → ParaxialRays[source]

Interact with real rays, causing refraction or reflection.

Parameters:

rays (RealRays) – The incoming real rays.

Returns:

The outgoing real rays.

Return type:

RealRays
