+
+| Axis | Positive =  | Example                          |
+|------|-------------|----------------------------------|

+| Z    | INTO screen | Negative Z = closer to camera    |
+
+**To place A ABOVE B:** give A a **smaller Y** (`y - offset`)
+**To place A BELOW B:** give A a **larger Y** (`y + offset`)

+# Tips for AI Agents
+
+1. **Always use project Color:** `eu.svjatoslav.sixth.e3d.renderer.raster.Color` (NOT `java.awt.Color`)
+2. **Point3D is mutable:** Clone before storing references: `point.clone()`
+3. **Y is down:** Remember coordinate system when positioning elements
+4. **SolidPolygon works for quads:** Use `SolidPolygon.quad(p1,p2,p3,p4,color)` - automatically triangulated
+5. **CSG on AbstractCompositeShape:** Only composite shapes support `subtract()`, `union()`, `intersect()`
+6. **Animations via FrameListener:** Return `true` from `onFrame()` to trigger repaint
+7. **Shading needs lighting:** `setShadingEnabled(true)` + add `LightSource` to `LightingManager`
+8. **Wireframe shapes need LineAppearance:** `new LineAppearance(width, Color)` for consistent line styling
+9. **Group visibility:** Use `.addShape(shape, "groupName")` then `.hideGroup()` / `.showGroup()`

+
+    CREATIVE COMMONS CORPORATION IS NOT A LAW FIRM AND DOES NOT PROVIDE
+    LEGAL SERVICES. DISTRIBUTION OF THIS DOCUMENT DOES NOT CREATE AN
+    ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP. CREATIVE COMMONS PROVIDES THIS

+    THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS PROVIDED
+    HEREUNDER.
+
+Statement of Purpose
+
+The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer
+exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator
+and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of
+authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work").
+
+Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for
+the purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and
+scientific works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear
+of later claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other
+works, reuse and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever
+and for any purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes.
+These owners may contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free
+culture and the further production of creative, cultural and scientific
+works, or to gain reputation or greater distribution for their Work in
+part through the use and efforts of others.
+
+For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any
+expectation of additional consideration or compensation, the person
+associating CC0 with a Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she
+is an owner of Copyright and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily
+elects to apply CC0 to the Work and publicly distribute the Work under its
+terms, with knowledge of his or her Copyright and Related Rights in the
+Work and the meaning and intended legal effect of CC0 on those rights.
+
+1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be
+protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and
+Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not
+limited to, the following:
+
+  i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display,
+     communicate, and translate a Work;
+ ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s);
+iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or
+     likeness depicted in a Work;
+ iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work,
+     subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below;
+  v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data
+     in a Work;
+ vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the
+     European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal
+     protection of databases, and under any national implementation
+     thereof, including any amended or successor version of such
+     directive); and
+vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the
+     world based on applicable law or treaty, and any national
+     implementations thereof.
+
+2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention
+of, applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently,
+irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of
+Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights and associated claims and causes
+of action, whether now known or unknown (including existing as well as
+future claims and causes of action), in the Work (i) in all territories
+worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or
+treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future
+medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever,
+including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional
+purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes the Waiver for the benefit of each
+member of the public at large and to the detriment of Affirmer's heirs and
+successors, fully intending that such Waiver shall not be subject to
+revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or any other legal or
+equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work by the public
+as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
+
+3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason
+be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the
+Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into
+account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the
+extent the Waiver is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected
+person a royalty-free, non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive,
+irrevocable and unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and
+Related Rights in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the
+maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future
+time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number
+of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without
+limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the
+"License"). The License shall be deemed effective as of the date CC0 was
+applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the License for any
+reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, such
+partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder
+of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that he or she
+will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining Copyright and Related
+Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of
+action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's
+express Statement of Purpose.
+
+4. Limitations and Disclaimers.
+
+ a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned,
+    surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.
+ b. Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations or
+    warranties of any kind concerning the Work, express, implied,
+    statutory or otherwise, including without limitation warranties of
+    title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non
+    infringement, or the absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or
+    the present or absence of errors, whether or not discoverable, all to
+    the greatest extent permissible under applicable law.
+ c. Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other persons
+    that may apply to the Work or any use thereof, including without
+    limitation any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work.
+    Further, Affirmer disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary
+    consents, permissions or other rights required for any use of the
+    Work.
+ d. Affirmer understands and acknowledges that Creative Commons is not a

+* What is CSG?
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: what-is-csg
+:ID:       a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890
+:END:
+
+*Constructive Solid Geometry* (CSG) is a modeling technique that builds
+complex 3D shapes by combining simpler primitives using boolean
+operations. Instead of manually creating every vertex and face, you
+define shapes as the result of operations like "merge these two cubes"
+or "carve a hole using this sphere."
+
+CSG is particularly powerful for:
+- *Procedural modeling* — generate complex geometry algorithmically
+- *CAD/CAM applications* — define parts as combinations of primitives
+- *Game development* — create architectural elements, holes, cavities
+- *Rapid prototyping* — iterate on designs by adjusting operations
+
+The three fundamental CSG operations are:
+
+| Operation   | Symbol | Result                                    |

+The screenshot above shows all three operations displayed left to right:
+subtract (green cube with spherical cavity), union (merged green and
+orange shapes), and intersect (only the overlapping region in blue).
+
+The diagrams below use the same green cube (A) and orange sphere (B) as
+the screenshot above. Each operation transforms these inputs differently,
+producing the results shown from left to right in the image.
+
+** Subtract (A - B)
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: subtract-operation
+:END:
+
+#+INCLUDE: "csg-operations.svg" export html
+
+*Subtract* removes the orange sphere (B) from the green cube (A), carving
+out a cavity. The diagram shows B acting as a "cutter" — where it overlaps
+A, a hole is created. Interior faces *are preserved* and become visible,
+allowing you to see inside the carved-out space (shown as the orange dashed
+curve in the result).
+
+This matches the leftmost shape in the screenshot: a green cube with a
+visible spherical hollow inside, showing the interior surfaces created by
+the subtraction.
+
+This operation is ideal for creating:
+- Holes and tunnels
+- Carved-out spaces
+- Hollow objects

+*Union* merges the green cube (A) and orange sphere (B) into one continuous
+volume. The diagram shows both shapes combining — the interior seam (where
+they overlap) is removed, creating a single solid surface with no internal
+boundaries (indicated by the dashed blue line labeled "removed").
+
+This corresponds to the center shape in the screenshot: both green and
+orange colors present but seamlessly joined, forming one unified object.

+
+*Intersect* keeps only the volume where the green cube (A) and orange
+sphere (B) overlap — the region that is inside *both* shapes
+simultaneously. The diagram shows this as the blue-shaded area: the
+portion of the sphere that fits within the cube boundaries. Everything
+else is discarded.
+
+This is the rightmost shape in the screenshot: only the overlapping
+portion remains, showing which parts of space were occupied by both the
+cube and sphere at the same time.
+
+This operation is useful for:
+- Creating shapes constrained by multiple boundaries
+- Finding collision regions
+- Trimming geometry to fit within bounds

+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: bsp-tree-algorithm
+:END:
+
+CSG boolean operations are implemented using *Binary Space Partitioning*
+(BSP) trees. A BSP tree recursively divides 3D space using planes,
+creating a hierarchical structure that enables efficient polygon clipping
+and spatial queries.
+
+** BSP Tree Structure
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: bsp-tree-structure
+:END:
+
+#+INCLUDE: "bsp-tree.svg" export html
+
+Each BSP node contains:
+- A *partitioning plane* that divides space into two half-spaces
+- *Polygons* that lie exactly on this plane (coplanar)
+- *Front* subtree — polygons on the same side as the plane's normal
+- *Back* subtree — polygons on the opposite side
+
+** Key BSP Operations
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: key-bsp-operations
+:END:
+
+The BSP tree provides three core operations that enable CSG:
+
+| Operation      | Description                                      |
+|----------------+--------------------------------------------------|
+| =invert()=     | Flip all normals, swap front/back children       |
+| =clipTo(tree)= | Remove polygons inside the other tree's solid    |
+| =addPolygons()= | Insert new polygons, splitting at planes         |
+
+*Invert* is fundamental to CSG. By flipping inside/outside, we can
+transform subtraction and intersection into variations of clipping:
+
+- **Subtract** = invert A, clip against B, add B's clipped parts, invert back
+- **Intersect** = invert A, clip B against A, invert both, combine, invert back
+
+** Polygon Clipping
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: polygon-clipping
+:END:
+
+When a polygon crosses a partitioning plane, it's *split* into two
+fragments:
+
+#+INCLUDE: "polygon-clipping.svg" export html
+
+This recursive splitting ensures that all polygons are cleanly classified
+as entirely in front, entirely behind, or exactly on a plane — never
+"spanning" across.

+
+The *view frustum* is a truncated pyramid-shaped volume that represents
+everything the camera can see. Objects completely outside this volume are
+skipped during rendering — a powerful optimization called *frustum culling*.
+
+** The Six Frustum Planes
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: frustum-planes
+:END:
+
+The frustum is defined by six clipping planes:
+
+| Plane   | Purpose                                    |
+|---------+--------------------------------------------|
+| Left    | Left edge of viewport                      |
+| Right   | Right edge of viewport                     |
+| Top     | Top edge of viewport (smaller Y in Y-down) |
+| Bottom  | Bottom edge of viewport (larger Y)         |
+| Near    | Closest visible distance from camera       |
+| Far     | Farthest visible distance from camera      |
+
+Each plane divides 3D space into "inside" (visible) and "outside"
+(culled). An object must pass all six plane tests to be considered
+potentially visible.
+
+** Frustum Culling vs Backface Culling
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: frustum-vs-backface-culling
+:END:
+
+These are complementary optimizations at different levels:
+
+| Optimization    | Level        | What it skips                    |
+|-----------------+--------------+----------------------------------|
+| Frustum culling | Object level | Entire composite shapes + children |
+| Backface culling | Polygon level | Individual triangles facing away |
+
+*Frustum culling* happens first during the transform phase — entire
+object trees are skipped with a single bounding box test. *Backface
+culling* happens later during rasterization — individual triangles
+are checked before being drawn.
+
+For best performance, use both: organize your scene with composite
+shapes for effective frustum culling, and enable backface culling on
+closed meshes.
+
+* How Frustum Culling Works in Sixth 3D
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: frustum-culling-implementation
+:END:
+
+Frustum culling is applied automatically to all [[../index.org#mesh][composite shapes]]
+during Phase 2 of the [[../rendering-loop/][rendering loop]]:
+
+1. *Update frustum*: Compute 6 planes from camera FOV and viewport size
+2. *For each composite shape*:
+   - Get its [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/geometry/Box.html][Axis-Aligned Bounding Box (AABB)]]
+   - Transform all 8 corners to view space
+   - Test against frustum using [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/geometry/Frustum.html#intersectsAABB][intersectsAABB()]]
+   - If outside: skip the entire composite and all children
+   - If inside: continue transforming children
+
+** The AABB Intersection Algorithm
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: aabb-intersection-algorithm
+:END:
+
+The intersection test uses an optimized "P-vertex" approach:
+
+#+INCLUDE: "p-vertex-aabb.svg" export html
+
+For each plane, instead of testing all 8 corners of the bounding box,
+we test only the *P-vertex* — the corner most aligned with the plane
+normal. If this "best" corner is behind the plane, the entire box must
+be outside the frustum.
+
+- Plane normal points *into* the frustum (toward visible region)
+- P-vertex: select corner based on normal direction
+  - If normal.x > 0 → use maxX (rightmost corner)
+  - If normal.x < 0 → use minX (leftmost corner)
+  - Same logic for Y and Z
+- Test: =dot(normal, P-vertex) < distance= → outside
+
+This reduces from 48 tests (8 corners × 6 planes) to just 6 tests per
+object.
+
+* Performance Benefits
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: frustum-performance
+:END:
+
+Frustum culling can dramatically improve performance for large scenes:
+
+- *High cull % (60-90%)*: Excellent — most objects skipped entirely
+- *Medium cull % (20-60%)*: Moderate benefit
+- *Low cull % (0-20%)*: Limited benefit — most objects visible
+
+A composite shape that is culled skips:
+- Transforming all its children

+
+* Scene Design for Effective Culling
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: frustum-scene-design
+:END:
+
+Frustum culling works best when you organize your scene into
+well-defined composite shapes:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC java
+// Good: Each building is a separate composite
+AbstractCompositeShape cityBlock = new AbstractCompositeShape();
+for (Building building : buildings) {
+    AbstractCompositeShape buildingComposite = new AbstractCompositeShape();
+    buildingComposite.add(buildingWalls);
+    buildingComposite.add(buildingRoof);
+    buildingComposite.add(buildingInterior);
+    cityBlock.add(buildingComposite);
+}
+
+// Less effective: Everything in one giant composite
+AbstractCompositeShape allObjects = new AbstractCompositeShape();
+allObjects.add(building1Walls);
+allObjects.add(building1Roof);
+allObjects.add(building2Walls);
+// ... hundreds of shapes directly in root
+#+END_SRC
+
+*Best practices:*
+
+- Use composites to group objects that occupy a bounded region of space
+- Keep bounding boxes tight (don't add distant objects to the same composite)
+- Nest composites hierarchically for multi-level culling (city → block → building)
+- Call [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/shapes/AbstractShape.html#updateBoundingBox()][updateBoundingBox()]] after moving shapes

+[[file:Example.png]]
+
+*Sixth 3D* is a realtime 3D rendering engine written in pure Java. It
+runs entirely on the CPU — no GPU required, no OpenGL, no Vulkan, no
+native libraries. Just Java.
+
+The motivation is simple: GPU-based 3D is a minefield of accidental
+complexity. Drivers are buggy or missing entirely. Features you need
+aren't supported on your target hardware. You run out of GPU RAM. You
+wrestle with platform-specific interop layers, shader compilation
+quirks, and dependency hell. Every GPU API comes with its own
+ecosystem of pain — version mismatches, incomplete implementations,
+vendor-specific workarounds. I want a library that "just works".
+
+*Sixth 3D* takes a different path. By rendering everything in software
+on the CPU, the entire GPU problem space simply disappears. You add a
+Maven dependency, write some Java, and you have a 3D scene. It runs
+wherever Java runs.
+
+This approach is quite practical for many use-cases. Modern systems
+ship with many CPU cores, and those with unified memory architectures
+offer high bandwidth between CPU and RAM. Software rendering that once
+seemed wasteful is now a reasonable choice where you need good-enough
+performance without the overhead of a full GPU pipeline. Java's JIT
+compiler helps too, optimizing hot rendering paths at runtime.
+
+Beyond convenience, CPU rendering gives you complete control. You own
+every pixel. You can freely experiment with custom rendering
+algorithms, optimization strategies, and visual effects without being
+constrained by what a GPU API exposes. Instead of brute-forcing
+everything through a fixed GPU pipeline, you can implement clever,
+application-specific optimizations.
+
+*Sixth 3D* is part of the larger [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth/][Sixth project]], with the long-term goal
+of providing a platform for 3D user interfaces and interactive data
+visualization. It can also be used as a standalone 3D engine in any
+Java project. See the [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d-demos/][demos]] for examples of what it can do today.

+
+Every 3D object is built from *vertices* — corner points that define
+the shape's geometry. A triangle has 3 vertices, a cube has 8, and
+complex meshes have thousands. The engine uses two related classes to
+represent points in 3D space, each serving a different purpose.
+
+
+
+*** Point3D — Raw Coordinates
+
+[[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/geometry/Point3D.html][Point3D]] is the fundamental coordinate type throughout the engine. It
+stores a position or vector with three public fields: =x=, =y=, =z=.
+The class provides vector math operations: distance calculation,
+rotation, translation, scaling, dot/cross products, and interpolation. Methods follow a fluent API convention where mutating
+operations (like =add=, =multiply=) return =this= for chaining, while
+non-mutating variants (like =withAdded=, =withMultiplied=) return new
+instances.
+
+Use =Point3D= for:
+- Storing positions, vectors, or any raw 3D coordinate
+- Distance and angle calculations between points
+- Vector math (dot product, cross product, normalization)
+- Rotating or translating positions before shape construction

+:END:
+
+#+INCLUDE: "edge.svg" export html
+
+An *edge* is a straight line segment connecting two [[#vertex][vertices]]. Edges
+form the wireframe skeleton of a 3D model — the structural framework
+visible when surfaces are not rendered. A triangle has 3 edges, a cube
+has 12 edges, and complex meshes have thousands.
+
+In *Sixth 3D*, the [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/shapes/basic/line/Line.html][Line]] class implements edges as renderable shapes. Each
+Line connects two [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/math/Vertex.html][Vertex]] endpoints and stores two properties: a
+[[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/shapes/basic/line/Line.html#width][width]] in world units (adjusted for perspective during rendering) and a
+[[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/shapes/basic/line/Line.html#color][color]] with alpha transparency. The rendering algorithm switches
+between two modes based on the projected screen width: thin lines below
+the threshold are drawn as single pixels with alpha-adjusted coloring,
+while thicker lines are rendered as filled rectangles with perspective-correct
+edge fading using four [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/shapes/basic/line/LineInterpolator.html][LineInterpolator]] scanline boundaries.
+
+Wireframe shapes are composite objects built from multiple Line instances.
+For example, [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/shapes/composite/wireframe/WireframeBox.html][WireframeBox]] creates 12 Line objects — four edges parallel to

+all edges. The [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/shapes/composite/wireframe/WireframeCube.html][WireframeCube]] convenience subclass provides a center-point

+#+INCLUDE: "face-triangle.svg" export html
+
+A *face* is a flat surface enclosed by edges — the visible skin of a 3D
+object. While faces can theoretically have any number of sides, 3D
+engines standardize on *triangles* because three points always define a
+flat plane. A quad (4 vertices) or pentagon (5 vertices) might be
+non-planar depending on vertex positions, causing rendering artifacts.
+Triangles avoid this problem entirely.
+
+*** SolidPolygon — Solid-Color Faces
+
+[[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/shapes/basic/solidpolygon/SolidPolygon.html][SolidPolygon]] is the primary face type, supporting any number of vertices
+(3 or more). For triangles, it renders directly via scanline rasterization.
+For N-vertex polygons (quads, pentagons, etc.), the engine automatically
+triangulates using fan decomposition before rendering — a quad becomes 2
+triangles, a pentagon becomes 3.
+
+Each SolidPolygon stores a single fill color with optional alpha
+transparency. When shading is enabled, the lighting manager computes
+the polygon's illumination once during the transform phase, then
+applies the shaded color during painting. Backface culling (see
+[[#winding-order-backface-culling][Winding Order & Backface Culling]]) can be enabled per-polygon, or
+applied recursively to an entire composite shape via

+coordinates. Each of the three [[#vertex][vertices]] stores a =textureCoordinate=
+(a [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/geometry/Point2D.html][Point2D]] with U and V values in *pixel units* matching the texture
+dimensions). For a 256×256 texture, coordinates range from (0,0) at the
+top-left corner to (256,256) at the bottom-right. During rasterization, the
+engine interpolates these UV coordinates across the triangle's surface,
+sampling the texture at each pixel. When mipmaps are used, the [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/texture/TextureBitmap.html#multiplicationFactor][multiplicationFactor]]
+scales coordinates to match the selected mipmap resolution.
+
+The texture system supports mipmaps — pre-scaled versions of the texture
+selected based on the triangle's screen size to reduce aliasing artifacts
+on distant surfaces. For large triangles that would show perspective
+distortion, the engine can tessellate the triangle into smaller pieces

+#+INCLUDE: "mesh.svg" export html
+
+A *mesh* is a collection of vertices, edges, and faces that together
+define the shape of a 3D object. Even curved surfaces like spheres are
+approximated by many small triangles — more triangles means a smoother
+appearance. A cube has 8 vertices forming 12 triangular faces, while a
+smooth sphere requires hundreds or thousands of triangles depending on
+the desired quality.
+
+In *Sixth 3D*, meshes are built through composition rather than
+monolithic vertex/index buffers. The [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/shapes/AbstractCoordinateShape.html][AbstractCoordinateShape]] class is

+object with its own position, rotation, and transform — useful for
+complex models that move or rotate together.
+
+Complex meshes are constructed procedurally by adding primitive shapes

+triangles using a latitude-longitude grid: with 16 segments, it

+geometry from procedural generation or external sources.
+
+During rendering, several automatic optimizations occur. N-vertex
+polygons (quads, pentagons, etc.) are triangulated using fan
+triangulation in [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/shapes/composite/base/AbstractCompositeShape.html#retessellate(eu.svjatoslav.sixth.e3d.gui.RenderingContext)][AbstractCompositeShape.retessellate()]], converting an

+The order in which a triangle's vertices are listed determines its
+*winding order*. In *Sixth 3D*, screen coordinates have Y-axis pointing
+*down*, which inverts the apparent winding direction compared to
+standard mathematical convention (Y-up). *Counter-clockwise (CCW)* in
+screen space means front-facing. *Backface culling* skips rendering
+triangles that face away from the camera — a major performance
+optimization.

+Sixth 3D uses its own [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/Color.html][Color class]] instead of [[https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/docs/api/java.desktop/java/awt/Color.html][java.awt.Color]]. This
+custom implementation is designed specifically for the engine's
+software rasterizer, where avoiding object allocation during rendering
+is critical for performance. When rendering thousands of polygons per
+frame, creating new Color instances for each one would generate
+excessive garbage and trigger frequent garbage collection
+pauses. Instead, the engine's Color class uses mutable fields that can
+be reused across frames.
+
+The class stores RGBA components as public integer fields in the range
+0–255. This format matches the engine's pixel buffer layout and avoids
+costly float-to-int conversions during rasterization. The [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/Color.html#r][r]], [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/Color.html#g][g]], [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/Color.html#b][b]], and
+[[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/Color.html#a][a]] fields are accessible directly, allowing lighting calculations and
+alpha blending to modify colors in-place without allocating new
+objects. For example, the [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/shapes/basic/solidpolygon/SolidPolygon.html][SolidPolygon]] class maintains a reusable
+[[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/shapes/basic/solidpolygon/SolidPolygon.html#shadedColor][shadedColor]] field that gets updated during each frame's lighting
+calculation instead of creating a new Color instance per polygon.
+
+Color provides several constructors for different input formats. The
+most common approach is using hex strings via [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/Color.html#hex(java.lang.String)][Color.hex(String)]] or the
+[[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/Color.html#%3Cinit%3E(java.lang.String)][String constructor]], which support formats like ="F80"= (3-digit RGB),
+="FF8800"= (6-digit RGB), ="F808"= (4-digit RGBA), and ="FF8800CC"=
+(8-digit RGBA). You can also create colors from integer RGBA
+components (0–255) using [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/Color.html#%3Cinit%3E(int,int,int,int)][new Color(r, g, b, a)]], from floating-point
+components (0.0–1.0) via [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/Color.html#%3Cinit%3E(double,double,double,double)][new Color(double r, double g, double b,
+double a)]], or from a packed RGB integer like =0xFF8800= using [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/Color.html#%3Cinit%3E(int)][new
+Color(int rgb)]]. The class also provides predefined constants for
+common colors: [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/Color.html#RED][Color.RED]], [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/Color.html#GREEN][Color.GREEN]], [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/Color.html#BLUE][Color.BLUE]], [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/Color.html#YELLOW][Color.YELLOW]],

+and returns =this= for method chaining, which is essential for
+performance during rendering. For example, the [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/lighting/LightingManager.html][LightingManager]]
+calculates lighting contributions from all light sources and stores
+the final shaded color directly into a reusable Color instance via
+=set()=, avoiding any allocation. The [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/Color.html#toAwtColor()][toAwtColor()]] method converts a
+Sixth 3D Color to a java.awt.Color when needed for Java2D graphics
+operations, caching the result to avoid repeated conversion. The

+
+The alpha component controls transparency during rendering. A value of
+0 makes the color fully transparent, while 255 makes it fully
+opaque. The rasterizer implements alpha blending during the paint
+phase: when drawing a semi-transparent pixel, the engine blends the
+source color with the existing background pixel proportionally based
+on the alpha value. The [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/texture/TextureBitmap.html#drawPixel(int,int\[\],int)][TextureBitmap.drawPixel()]] method handles this
+blending, multiplying source colors by alpha and background colors by
+=(255 - alpha)=, then combining them. You can test whether a color is
+fully transparent using [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/Color.html#isTransparent()][isTransparent()]], which returns true when alpha
+equals zero.
+
+For lighting calculations, the [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/lighting/LightSource.html][LightSource]] class uses Color to
+represent the color and intensity of emitted light. Multiple light
+sources contribute to the final shaded color of each polygon, as
+described in the [[file:shading/index.org::#shading-lighting][Shading & Lighting]] documentation. The [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/lighting/LightingManager.html#setAmbientLight(eu.svjatoslav.sixth.e3d.renderer.raster.Color)][ambient light]]
+provides base illumination that affects all surfaces equally,
+regardless of orientation. Colors are also used for wireframe
+rendering via the [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/shapes/basic/line/Line.html][Line]] class, where the color field determines the

+

+| Statistic | Description                                              |
+|-----------+----------------------------------------------------------|
+| Total     | Number of composite shapes tested against the frustum    |
+| Culled    | Number of composites rejected (outside view frustum)     |
+| Culled %  | Percentage of composites that were culled (0-100%)       |
+
+*What is frustum culling?*
+
+Frustum culling is an optimization that skips rendering objects outside
+the camera's view. Before rendering each composite shape, the engine
+tests its bounding box against the view frustum. If the bounding box is
+completely outside the visible area, the entire composite (and all its
+children) are skipped.
+
+*How to interpret the numbers:*
+
+- *High cull % (60-90%)*: Excellent — most objects are being correctly culled
+- *Medium cull % (20-60%)*: Moderate — some optimization benefit
+- *Low cull % (0-20%)*: Limited benefit — either all objects are visible, or scene needs restructuring
+
+*Example:*
+#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
+Total: 473  Culled: 425 (89.9%)
+#+END_EXAMPLE
+
+This means 473 composite shapes were tested, 425 were outside the view
+and skipped entirely, and only 48 composites (with all their children)
+actually needed to be rendered. This is excellent culling efficiency.
+
+The statistics update every 200ms while the panel is open. Note that
+the root composite is never frustum-tested (it's always rendered), so
+the "Total" count excludes it.

+
+When a textured polygon is rendered at an angle to the viewer, naive
+linear interpolation of texture coordinates produces visible
+distortion.
+
+Consider a large textured floor extending toward the horizon. Without
+perspective correction, the texture appears to "swim" or distort
+because the texture coordinates are interpolated linearly across
+screen space, not accounting for depth.
+
+#+attr_html: :class responsive-img
+#+attr_latex: :width 1000px
+[[file:Affine distortion.png]]
+
+The *Sixth 3D* engine solves this through *adaptive polygon tessellation*.
+Instead of computing true perspective-correct interpolation per pixel
+(which is expensive), the engine subdivides large triangles into
+smaller pieces. Each sub-triangle is rendered with simple affine
+interpolation, but because the pieces are small, the error is
+negligible.
+
+* How Tessellation Works
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: how-tessellation-works
+:END:
+
+The engine uses *screen-space adaptive tessellation* via
+[[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/tessellation/ScreenSpaceTessellator.html][ScreenSpaceTessellator]]:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC java
+void tessellate(TexturedTriangle polygon) {
+    // Find the longest edge in screen-space pixels
+    ScreenSpaceEdge longest = findLongestScreenEdge(polygon);
+
+    if (longest.screenLength <= maxScreenPixels) {
+        // Small enough on screen: add to result
+        result.add(polygon);
+    } else {
+        // Split at midpoint (interpolate world, texture, screen coords)
+        Vertex middle = longest.interpolateMidpoint();
+        // Recurse on two sub-triangles
+        tessellate(subTriangle1);
+        tessellate(subTriangle2);
+    }
+}
+#+END_SRC
+
+#+INCLUDE: "triangle-tessellation.svg" export html
+
+The midpoint is computed by averaging both 3D coordinates, texture
+coordinates, *and* screen coordinates. This ensures each sub-triangle
+has correct depth sorting.
+
+** Adaptive Threshold
+
+The tessellation threshold is *adaptive* - it adjusts dynamically based
+on polygon budget:
+
+- [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/tessellation/AdaptiveTessellationController.html][AdaptiveTessellationController]] tracks polygon count per frame
+- If count exceeds ~1000 polygons, threshold increases (less tessellation)
+- If count is low and threshold above minimum, threshold decreases (better quality)
+- Threshold range: 30-500 pixels
+
+** Safeguards Against Excessive Tessellation
+
+When the camera is very close to a polygon, screen-space coordinates
+can become extremely large (100,000+ pixels). Without safeguards, this
+would produce millions of triangles. The tessellator includes three
+limits:
+
+- Maximum recursion depth (8 levels = max 256 triangles per polygon)
+- Maximum triangles per polygon (hard limit of 200)
+- Maximum edge length for tessellation (10,000 pixels - skip tessellation for huge polygons)
+
+* Visualizing the Tessellation

+:CUSTOM_ID: rendering-loop
+:ID:       a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890
+:END:
+
+The rendering loop is the heart of the engine, continuously generating
+frames on a dedicated background thread. It orchestrates the entire
+rendering pipeline from 3D world space to pixels on screen.
+
+** What is a render loop?
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: what-is-a-render-loop
+:END:
+
+A *render loop* is a continuous process that generates visual frames
+from 3D data. Think of it like a movie camera: each "frame" captures
+the current state of the 3D world and converts it into a 2D image that
+can be displayed on screen.
+
+The process transforms shapes through multiple coordinate systems:
+
+#+INCLUDE: "render-pipeline.svg" export html
+
+Each step has a specific purpose:
+
+| Step | Input | Output | Purpose |
+|------+-------+--------+---------|
+| Shapes | 3D [[file:../index.org::#vertex][vertices]], [[file:../index.org::#mesh][meshes]] | Scene data | Objects waiting to be drawn |
+| Transform | World coordinates | Screen coordinates | Convert 3D positions to where they appear on screen (see [[file:../index.org::#coordinate-system][coordinate system]]) |
+| Sort | Unordered shapes | Ordered by depth | Ensure correct visibility (far objects painted first) |
+| Paint | Sorted shapes | Pixels in buffer | Clear segments (parallel) and rasterize triangles into pixel array |
+| Blit | Pixel buffer | Screen image | Copy completed frame to display |
+
+This pipeline runs repeatedly, typically 60 times per second (60 FPS).
+Even if nothing moves, the loop continues running—but the engine [[#frame-listeners][skips
+unnecessary work]] when the scene is static.
+
+** Main loop structure
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: main-loop-structure
+:END:
+
+The render thread runs continuously in a dedicated daemon thread:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC java
+while (renderThreadRunning) {
+    ensureThatViewIsUpToDate();  // Render one frame
+    maintainTargetFps();         // Sleep if needed
+}
+#+END_SRC
+
+The thread is a daemon, so it automatically stops when the JVM exits.
+You can stop it explicitly with [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/gui/ViewPanel.html#stop()][ViewPanel.stop()]].
+
+** Frame rate control
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: frame-rate-control
+:END:
+
+The engine supports two modes:
+
+- *Target FPS mode*: Set with [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/gui/ViewPanel.html#setFrameRate(int)][setFrameRate(int)]].
+  The engine tries to maintain the target rate by sleeping between frames.
+
+  - *When rendering is slower than target*: No sleeping occurs. The engine
+    runs at maximum hardware speed. Missed frames are skipped, not
+    rendered later — the timing simply resets to current time.
+
+  - *When rendering is faster than target*: The thread sleeps to limit FPS
+    to the target rate, avoiding unnecessary CPU usage.
+
+  For example, with a 60 FPS target:
+  - If a complex scene takes 30ms per frame, you get ~33 FPS (hardware limit)
+  - If the scene later simplifies to 10ms per frame, you get exactly
+    60 FPS (throttled by sleeping)
+
+- *Unlimited mode*: Set =setFrameRate(0)= or negative. No sleeping —
+  renders as fast as possible. Useful for benchmarking.
+
+* Rendering phases
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: rendering-phases
+:END:
+
+Each frame goes through 5 phases:
+
+** Phase 1: Transform shapes
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: phase-1-transform-shapes
+:END:
+
+All shapes are transformed from world space to screen space:
+
+1. Build camera-relative transform (inverse of camera position/rotation)
+2. For each shape:
+   - Apply camera transform
+   - Project 3D → 2D (perspective projection)
+   - Calculate =onScreenZ= for depth sorting
+   - Queue for rendering
+
+*What is coordinate transformation?*
+
+Every shape exists in "world space" — its own position in the 3D world.
+To render it, we must convert to "screen space" — where it appears on
+your monitor. This involves:
+
+- *Translation*: Move coordinates relative to camera position
+- *Rotation*: Rotate coordinates based on camera orientation
+- *Projection*: Convert 3D (x, y, z) to 2D (x, y) screen pixels
+
+Objects further away appear smaller (perspective). The [[file:../index.org::#coordinate-system][coordinate system]]
+uses Y-down to match screen conventions, making projection straightforward.
+
+This is single-threaded but very fast — just math, no pixel operations.
+
+** Phase 2: Sort shapes
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: phase-2-sort-shapes
+:END:
+
+Shapes are sorted by =onScreenZ= (depth) in descending order:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC java
+Collections.sort(queuedShapes, (a, b) -> Double.compare(b.onScreenZ, a.onScreenZ));
+#+END_SRC
+
+*Why sort back-to-front?*
+
+This implements the *painter's algorithm* — like painting a landscape:
+first paint the sky (farthest), then mountains, then trees, then the
+foreground. Each layer covers what's behind it.
+
+#+INCLUDE: "painters-algorithm.svg" export html
+
+Without sorting, nearby objects might be painted first and then covered
+by distant ones, causing visual errors. This is especially important for
+*transparent objects* — you need to see through the near ones to what's
+behind.
+
+The =onScreenZ= value represents distance from the camera after
+transformation. Larger values = further away.
+
+** Phase 3: Clear and paint segments (multi-threaded)
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: phase-3-clear-paint-segments
+:END:
+
+The screen is divided into 8 horizontal segments, each processed by a separate thread. Each thread performs two operations:
+
+1. *Clear segment*: Fill its Y-range with background color
+2. *Paint shapes*: Render all shapes within that Y-range
+
+Both operations happen within the same thread task, ensuring clearing completes before painting begins. This provides greater RAM bandwidth utilization compared to single-threaded clearing.
+
+#+INCLUDE: "paint-segments.svg" export html
+
+Each thread:
+- Gets a =SegmentRenderingContext= with Y-bounds (minY, maxY)
+- Clears its segment to background color (parallel memory fill)
+- Iterates all shapes and paints pixels within its Y-range
+- Clips triangles/lines at segment boundaries
+- Detects mouse hits (before clipping)
+
+A =CountDownLatch= waits for all 8 threads to complete before proceeding.
+
+**Why 8 segments?** This matches the typical core count of modern CPUs.
+The fixed thread pool (=Executors.newFixedThreadPool(8)=) avoids the
+overhead of creating threads per frame.
+
+**Why parallel clearing?** Each thread clears its own memory region
+(disjoint Y-ranges), avoiding synchronization overhead while maximizing
+memory bandwidth utilization on multi-core systems.
+
+** Phase 4: Combine mouse results
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: phase-4-combine-mouse-results
+:END:
+
+During painting, each segment tracks which shape is under the mouse cursor.
+Since all segments paint the same shapes (just different Y-ranges), they
+should all report the same hit. Phase 4 takes the first non-null result:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC java
+for (SegmentRenderingContext ctx : segmentContexts) {
+    if (ctx.getSegmentMouseHit() != null) {
+        renderingContext.setCurrentObjectUnderMouseCursor(ctx.getSegmentMouseHit());
+        break;
+    }
+}
+#+END_SRC
+
+** Phase 5: Blit to screen
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: phase-5-blit-to-screen
+:END:
+
+The rendered =BufferedImage= is copied to the screen using
+[[https://cr.openjdk.org/~iris/se/17/latestSpec/api/java.desktop/java/awt/image/BufferStrategy.html][BufferStrategy]] for tear-free page-flipping:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC java
+do {
+    Graphics2D g = bufferStrategy.getDrawGraphics();
+    g.drawImage(renderingContext.bufferedImage, 0, 0, null);
+    g.dispose();
+} while (bufferStrategy.contentsRestored());
+
+bufferStrategy.show();
+Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().sync();
+#+END_SRC
+
+*What is double-buffering?*
+
+Without double-buffering, the screen updates while pixels are being
+written. This causes *screen tearing* — visible horizontal splits where
+the top of the frame shows old content while the bottom shows new.
+
+#+INCLUDE: "double-buffering.svg" export html
+
+Double-buffering uses two pixel buffers:
+- *Back buffer*: Where rendering happens (offscreen, invisible)
+- *Front buffer*: What's currently displayed on screen
+
+When rendering completes, the buffers *swap* in one atomic operation.
+The viewer always sees complete frames, never partial updates.
+
+The =do-while= loop handles the case where the OS recreates the back
+buffer (common during window resizing). Since our offscreen
+=BufferedImage= still has the correct pixels, we only need to re-blit,
+not re-render.
+
+
+* Frame listeners and smart repaint skipping
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: frame-listeners
+:ID:       e360a877-cca6-4cba-a9a4-ea40b0f1a183
+:END:
+
+A *FrameListener* is a callback that runs custom logic before each potential
+frame. Think of it as your "per-frame hook" — the engine calls all registered
+listeners, giving them a chance to update animations, physics, or game logic.
+
+** Registering a frame listener
+
+Use [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/gui/ViewPanel.html#addFrameListener(eu.svjatoslav.sixth.e3d.gui.FrameListener)][addFrameListener()]] to register your callback:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC java
+// This is how you register a frame listener
+viewPanel.addFrameListener((panel, deltaMs) -> {
+    // Example: simple animation listener
+    double rotationSpeed = 1.0;  // radians per second
+    shape.rotate(rotationSpeed * deltaMs / 1000.0);  // Framerate-independent rotation
+    return true;  // Request repaint (shape moved)
+});
+#+END_SRC
+
+The listener receives two parameters:
+- =panel=: The ViewPanel that's rendering
+- =deltaMs=: Milliseconds since last frame (for framerate-independent animation)
+
+The return value controls whether the frame gets rendered:
+- =true=: "Something changed — repaint the screen"
+- =false=: "Nothing changed — can skip this frame"
+
+** Frame skipping optimization
+
+The engine avoids unnecessary rendering. A frame is skipped when:
+- *All listeners return false* (nothing changed in your scene)
+- *Camera velocity is zero* (built-in Camera listener returns false when not moving)
+- *No resize or repaint requests*
+
+This means a static scene with no animations consumes almost zero CPU.
+The render thread keeps running (checking for changes), but actual pixel
+rendering is skipped entirely.
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC java
+// Example: listener that only requests repaint when needed
+viewPanel.addFrameListener((panel, deltaMs) -> {
+    if (gameState.hasUpdates()) {
+        gameState.processUpdates();
+        return true;   // Only repaint when game state actually changed
+    }
+    return false;      // Skip frame — nothing to update
+});
+#+END_SRC
+
+** Built-in listeners
+
+The engine registers these listeners by default:
+- [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/gui/Camera.html][Camera]] — returns true when user is actively navigating (velocity > 0)
+- [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/gui/humaninput/InputManager.html][InputManager]] — processes mouse/keyboard events
+
+When the camera stops moving and you release all keys, the Camera listener
+returns false. If your custom listeners also return false, the frame is
+skipped until something changes.
+
+* Rendering context
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: rendering-context
+:END:
+
+The [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/gui/RenderingContext.html][RenderingContext]] holds all state for a single frame:
+
+| Field | Purpose |
+|-------+---------|
+| =pixels[]= | Raw pixel buffer (int[] in RGB format) |
+| =bufferedImage= | Java2D wrapper around pixels |
+| =graphics= | Graphics2D for text, lines, shapes |
+| =width=, =height= | Rendering area dimensions |
+| =centerCoordinate= | Screen center (for projection) |
+| =projectionScale= | Perspective scale factor |
+| =frameNumber= | Monotonically increasing frame counter |
+
+A new context is created when the window is resized. Otherwise, the
+same context is reused — =prepareForNewFrameRendering()= just resets
+per-frame state like mouse tracking.

+
+*Sixth 3D* implements *flat shading* using the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert%27s_cosine_law][Lambert cosine
+law]]. Each polygon receives a single color based on its orientation
+relative to light sources. This is a simple yet effective lighting
+model that gives 3D objects depth and realism.
+
+** The Lighting Model: Lambert Cosine Law
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: lambert-cosine-law
+:END:
+
+#+INCLUDE: "lambert-cosine-law.svg" export html
+
+The *Lambert cosine law* determines how much light a surface receives
+based on its orientation. A surface facing directly toward a light source
+receives maximum illumination; as it tilts away, the illumination decreases
+proportionally until it reaches zero when perpendicular to the light
+direction. This fundamental principle creates the visual cues that make 3D
+objects appear solid and dimensional rather than flat.
+
+The engine implements this law through the dot product of two vectors. The
+[[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/lighting/LightingManager.html][LightingManager]] computes a unit vector pointing from the polygon's center
+to each [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/lighting/LightSource.html][LightSource]], then calculates the dot product with the surface
+normal. When the dot product equals 1.0, the surface faces the light
+directly and receives full brightness. At 0.71 (a 45-degree angle), it
+receives about 71% illumination. At zero or below, the surface faces away
+from the light and receives no direct contribution from that source. The
+implementation in [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/lighting/LightingManager.html#computeLighting()][LightingManager.computeLighting()]] explicitly checks for
+positive dot products before adding light contributions, ensuring that
+back-facing surfaces skip unnecessary calculations.
+
+The surface normal itself is computed by [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/geometry/Plane.html#computeNormal()][Plane.computeNormal()]], which takes
+the first three vertices of a polygon and calculates their cross product to
+find the perpendicular direction. This normal, along with the polygon's
+center point calculated by [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/shapes/basic/solidpolygon/SolidPolygon.html][SolidPolygon]], is passed to the lighting manager
+during the [[file:../rendering-loop/][transform phase]] of the rendering loop. Computing lighting
+during this single-threaded phase ensures thread safety and allows the
+result to be cached in the polygon's reusable [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/shapes/basic/solidpolygon/SolidPolygon.html#shadedColor][shadedColor]] field, avoiding
+memory allocation during the subsequent multi-threaded paint phase. See the

+#+INCLUDE: "shading-pipeline.svg" export html
+
+Lighting is computed during *Phase 2* (transform phase) of the
+[[file:../rendering-loop/][rendering loop]]:
+
+1. Each shaded polygon calculates its center point and surface normal
+2. [[https://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/sixth-3d/apidocs/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/lighting/LightingManager.html][LightingManager]] computes lighting from all sources
+3. Result stored in reusable =shadedColor= field
+4. During *Phase 4* (paint), the cached color is used directly
+
+**Why during transform phase?**
+
+- Transform phase is *single-threaded* — no race conditions
+- Lighting computed *once per polygon per frame* — not per pixel
+- Result reused during multi-threaded paint phase — efficient
+
+** Performance Characteristics
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: performance
+:END:
+
+| Aspect       | Cost                          |
+|--------------+-------------------------------|
+| Computation  | Per polygon, not per pixel    |
+| Phase        | Single-threaded (transform)   |
+| Allocation   | Zero (reuses Color instance)  |
+| Cache        | One shadedColor per polygon   |
+
+The shading implementation is optimized for CPU rendering:
+
+- *Flat shading*: One lighting calculation per polygon (N-vertex polygon = 1 calculation)
+- *Reusable Color*: Result stored in existing field, no allocation during render
+- *Thread-safe*: Single-threaded transform phase avoids synchronization
+- *Pre-computed*: All 8 paint threads use the same cached result
+
+This approach trades visual fidelity (no per-pixel lighting) for
+performance — essential for software rendering where per-pixel lighting
+would be prohibitively expensive.
