Detailed Description

A Sampler class for sampling rays uniformely from a cone.

Principle : Sample points on the spherical cap resulting from the intersection between the unit sphere and the cone of axis z-axis and opening angle alpha. Then rotate the samples so that the axis of the cone points in the direction of the directivity

The cap is divided into horizontal slices on which points are sampled. The angle between consecutive slices is phi. The angle between consecutive samples on the same slice is theta. Theta is computed so that the arc length between neighboring samples on the same slice is equal to the arc length between neihboring slices (hence the uniformity of the samples) This means that the phi angle directly controls the number of slices and indirectly controls the number samples on each one of them. This gives us a nice uniform distribution of the samples but it prevents us from chosing exactly how many samples are generated.

The phi angle (and therefore the number of slices) is choosen so that the real number of samples is at least equal to the desired number of rays (nbRays)

Note : The first sample is always (0,0,1) Therefore, if we launch at least one ray, the first ray is always collinear with the directivity of the source

Ref : This approach is refered as Rusin's discoball Some more details on evenly distributed points on a sphere : http://web.archive.org/web/20120107030109/http://cgafaq.info/wiki/Evenly_distributed_points_on_sphere Comparison with the "golden sector" and the "Saff & Kuijlaar" approaches : https://bendwavy.org/pack/pack.htm
