This reference lists the public declarations for this part of the library. See Reading API signatures for parameter and result notation. Shader-only declarations can be used only inside shader entry points and helpers reached from them; using them elsewhere is a compile error.

GpuRay

A ray for trace_ray and GpuRayQuery: hits count only between distances t_min and t_max from origin along direction.

public struct GpuRay

origin

Where the ray starts.

public origin: GpuVec3

direction

The ray's direction; it need not have length 1, and distances are measured in multiples of it.

public direction: GpuVec3

t_min

The nearest distance at which hits count, usually a small positive value that keeps a surface from hitting itself.

public t_min: float

t_max

The farthest distance at which hits count.

public t_max: float

constructor

Creates a ray from origin along direction that counts hits from t_min to t_max.

public constructor(origin: GpuVec3, direction: GpuVec3, t_min: float, t_max: float)
