Parameters
| inDirection | The direction vector towards the plane. |
| inNormal | The normal vector that defines the plane. |
Description
Reflects a vector off the plane defined by a normal.
This method calculates the reflection vector using the following formula: v = inDirection - 2 * inNormal * dot(inDirection inNormal). The inNormal vector defines a plane. A plane's normal is the vector that is perpendicular to
its surface. The inDirection vector is treated as a directional arrow coming into the plane.
The returned value is a vector of equal magnitude to inDirection but with its direction reflected.
