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

NAME

rtcSetGeometryMask - sets the geometry mask
    

SYNOPSIS

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

RTCGeometry geometry,
unsigned int mask );

DESCRIPTION

The rtcSetGeometryMask function sets a 32-bit geometry mask (mask argument) for the specified geometry (geometry argument).

This geometry mask is used together with the ray mask stored inside the mask field of the ray. The primitives of the geometry are hit by the ray only if the bitwise and operation of the geometry mask with the ray mask is not 0. This feature can be used to disable selected geometries for specifically tagged rays, e.g. to disable shadow casting for certain geometries.

EXIT STATUS

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