rtcGetGeometryTransformFromScene(3) Embree Ray Tracing Kernels 4 rtcGetGeometryTransformFromScene(3)

NAME

rtcGetGeometryTransformFromScene - returns the interpolated instance

transformation for the specified time

SYNOPSIS

#include <embree4/rtcore.h>
void rtcGetGeometryTransformFromScene(

RTCScene scene,
unsigned int geomID,
float time,
enum RTCFormat format,
void* xfm );

DESCRIPTION

The rtcGetGeometryTransformFromScene function returns the interpolated local to world transformation (xfm output parameter) of an instance geometry specified by its geometry ID (geomID parameter) of a scene (scene parameter) for a particular time (time parameter in range [0, 1]) in the specified format (format parameter).

Possible formats for the returned matrix are:

RTC_FORMAT_FLOAT3X4_ROW_MAJOR: The 3×4 float matrix is laid out in row-major form.
RTC_FORMAT_FLOAT3X4_COLUMN_MAJOR: The 3×4 float matrix is laid out in column-major form.
RTC_FORMAT_FLOAT4X4_COLUMN_MAJOR: The 3×4 float matrix is laid out in column-major form as a 4×4 homogeneous matrix with last row equal to (0, 0, 0, 1).

In contrast to the rtcGetGeometryTransform function, the rtcGetGeometryTransformFromScene function can get used during rendering inside a SYCL kernel.

EXIT STATUS

On failure an error code is set that can be queried using rtcGetDeviceError.
