First round: -2 hex, virtual function in C++, size of class with virtual function. dot product, cross product. How to tell in 2 spheres intersect. stack memory and heap memory difference. Size of a struct, how do they do padding? Second round: Transform the object from one coordinate system to another using their matrix. Given the view vector and normal, compute the reflect vector. ray sphere intersection test; if a line segment intersects a triangle. Cache locality. Array of structure vs. structure of array. Explain the graphics pipeline. What effect is better in Vertex shader vs. pixel shader? Briefly talk about the lighting in a game. how to read/write data from multiple threads. What about reading is much more than writing. How to debug a crush dump. Final round: Digging into related experience in my resume. Explain the project related to the role. What are the interesting graphics bugs you fixed? Tell if a line segment pass through a circle in 3D.
