More float32 data types #50

Closed luithefirst closed 2 years ago

luithefirst commented 3 years ago

Ideally all datatypes in Aardvark.Base/Geometry should be available in float and double precision. For rendering applications doing computation in 32-bit precision is sufficient in lots of cases. Of course this a lot of work and continues with intersection tests, special points, and so on. Therefore, we should approach this in multiple steps. As a start, I would go for the most essential primitives like Ray3f, Triangle3f, Plane3f, Sphere3f

Should be fixed by https://github.com/aardvark-platform/aardvark.base/commit/1ab014d35c58413148b7187f56c38b7b9c0e8f59

Some default epsilon values may not be optimal, still needs testing.
