# NanoSG
Simple, minimal and header-only scene graph library for NanoRT.
NanoSG itself shoud be compiled with C++-03 compiler, but demo code uses C++11 features.

## Build
### Linux or macOS
```bash
premake5 gmake
make
```
### Windows
```bash
premake5 vs2015
```
## Data structure
### Node
Node represents scene graph node. Tansformation node or Mesh(shape) node.
Node is interpreted as transformation node when passing `nullptr` to Node class constructure.
Node can contain multiple children.
### Scene
Scene contains root nodes and provides the method to find an intersection of nodes.
## User defined data structure
Following are required in user application.
### Mesh class
Current example code assumes mesh is all composed of triangle meshes.
Following method must be implemented for `Scene::Traversal`.
```cpp
///
/// Get the geometric normal and the shading normal at `face_idx' th face.
///
template<typename T>
void GetNormal(T Ng[3], T Ns[3], const unsigned int face_idx, const T u, const T v) const;
```
### Intersection class
Represents intersection(hit) information.
### Transform
Transformation is done in the following procedure.
`M' = parent_xform x local_xform x local_pivot`
## Memory management
`Scene` and `Node` does not create a copy of asset data(e.g. vertices, indices). Thus user must care about memory management of scene assets in user side.
## API
API is still subject to change.
### Node
```cpp
void Node::SetName(const std::string &name);
```
Set (unique) name for the node.
```cpp
void Node::AddChild(const type &child);
```
Add node as child node.
```cpp
void Node::SetLocalXform(const T xform[4][4]) {
```
Set local transformation matrix. Default is identity matrix.
### Scene
```cpp
bool Scene::AddNode(const Node<T, M> &node);
```
Add a node to the scene.
```cpp
bool Scene::Commit() {
```
Commit the scene. After adding nodes to the scene or changed transformation matrix, call this `Commit` before tracing rays.
`Commit` triggers BVH build in each nodes and updates node's transformation matrix.
```cpp
template<class H>
bool Scene::Traverse(nanort::Ray<T> &ray, H *isect, const bool cull_back_face = false) const;
```
Trace ray into the scene and find an intersection.
Returns `true` when there is an intersection and hit information is stored in `isect`.

* [ ] Compute pivot point of each node(mesh).
