Thanks for your reply mark,
I do having problems with it. I can't figure our the way to compute the normal vector.
I know I need to use theta angle and u and v vectors. I also can use the radius and the sphere's center. However I really not so good with the physics part of the problem...
Homework Statement
Assuming an orthographic projection, the sphere projects into a circle on the image plane.
compute the normal vector to the sphere’s surface at a given point(x,y). The Sphere's center coordinates x,y are known as well as the radius. The resulting normal is in 3d...
