Hello,
First of all, thanks for writing this book! I've been interested in 3d rendering for a while and following along with the chapters really made me understand the process more intimately.
I have an issue with the "putting it together" scene from chapter 7. All of my unit tests pass, but there are some visual artifacts present in the render. The leftmost sphere does not show up in the scene, the walls have weird intersections (see the intersection between the floor and the walls), and the rightmost sphere seems like part of it is chopped off. Also, the wall to wall intersection seems to prioritize the leftmost wall (it seems to be curved when compared to the sample scene). My first intuition was that the problem was with the sphere/intersection order, but for both I wrote compareTo() methods that order based on distance.
I was wondering whether anyone had similar issues or any ideas on where to find the source of the errors.
Thanks in advance!
