public final class Ray extends java.lang.Object implements Savable, java.lang.Cloneable, Collidable, java.io.Serializable
Ray defines a line segment which has an origin and a direction.
That is, a point and an infinite ray is cast from this point. The ray is
defined by the following equation: R(t) = origin + t*direction for t >= 0.

public Ray()
Ray object. As default, the
origin is (0,0,0) and the direction is (0,0,1).public boolean intersectWhere(Triangle t, Vector3f loc)
intersectWhere determines if the Ray intersects a triangle. It then
stores the point of intersection in the given loc vectort - the Triangle to test against.loc - storage vector to save the collision point in (if the ray
collides)public boolean intersectWhere(Vector3f v0, Vector3f v1, Vector3f v2, Vector3f loc)

intersectWherePlanar determines if the Ray intersects a
quad defined by the specified points and if so it stores the point of
intersection in the given loc vector as t, u, v where t is the distance
from the origin to the point of intersection and u,v is the intersection
point in terms of the quad plane.
One edge of the quad is [v0,v1], another one [v0,v2]. The behaviour thus is like
intersectWherePlanar(Vector3f, Vector3f, Vector3f, Vector3f) except for
the extended area, which is equivalent to the union of the triangles [v0,v1,v2]
and [-v0+v1+v2,v1,v2].v0 - top left point of the quad.v1 - top right point of the quad.v2 - bottom left point of the quad.loc - storage vector to save the collision point in (if the ray
