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

NAME

rtcSetSceneBuildQuality - sets the build quality for

the scene

SYNOPSIS

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

RTCScene scene,
enum RTCBuildQuality quality );

DESCRIPTION

The rtcSetSceneBuildQuality function sets the build quality (quality argument) for the specified scene (scene argument). Possible values for the build quality are:

RTC_BUILD_QUALITY_LOW: Create lower quality data structures, e.g. for dynamic scenes. A two-level spatial index structure is built when enabling this mode, which supports fast partial scene updates, and allows for setting a per-geometry build quality through the rtcSetGeometryBuildQuality function.
RTC_BUILD_QUALITY_MEDIUM: Default build quality for most usages. Gives a good compromise between build and render performance.
RTC_BUILD_QUALITY_HIGH: Create higher quality data structures for final-frame rendering. For certain geometry types this enables a spatial split BVH. When high quality mode is enabled, filter callbacks may be invoked multiple times for the same geometry.

Selecting a higher build quality results in better rendering performance but slower scene commit times. The default build quality for a scene is RTC_BUILD_QUALITY_MEDIUM.

EXIT STATUS

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