Hi,
I need to generate a 'uniform sample' over an hemisphere and once done project it in a specific vector direction.
I have try the following, but it produce some errors... maybe you have an idea ? I have another solution, but I don't understand why this one does not work !
1. Create a random direction
x = random() * 2 - 1
y = random() * 2 - 1
z = random() * 2 - 1
d = normalize(x,y,z) // Scale it to have vector lenght = 1
2. Project the sample into the direction
dp = dot_product(d, direction)
if dp <= 0 then result = -d
else result = d
Thanks
