The Ray Tracer Challenge: applying materials to groups
@jamis
At the end of Chapter 14 the book briefly mentions that materials applied to groups have no effect on children shapes. I’d like to be able to apply colors for the dragon objects used here Bounding boxes.
Any tips or tricks on how to do this? I have a pretty non-standard Groups implementation in Rust so looking for inspiration. Thank you!
