8 SYNOPSIS
9 #include <embree4/rtcore.h>

11 void rtcOccluded1(
12 RTCScene scene,
13 struct RTCRay* ray,
14 struct RTCOccludedArguments* args = NULL
15 );

17 DESCRIPTION
18 The rtcOccluded1 function checks for a single ray (ray argument)
19 whether there is any hit with the scene (scene argument). The passed
20 optional arguments struct (args argument) can get used for advanced use
21 cases, see section [rtcInitOccludedArguments] for more details.
22
23 To trace a ray, the user must initialize the ray origin (org ray mem‐
24 ber), ray direction (dir ray member), ray segment (tnear, tfar ray mem‐
25 bers), ray mask (mask ray member), and must set the ray flags to 0
26 (flags ray member). The ray time (time ray member) must be initialized
27 to a value in the range [0, 1]. The ray segment must be in the range
28 [0, ∞], thus ranges that start behind the ray origin are not valid, but
29 ranges can reach to infinity. See Section [RTCRay] for the ray layout
30 description.
31
32 When no intersection is found, the ray data is not updated. In case a
33 hit was found, the tfar component of the ray is set to -inf.
34
35 The implementation makes no guarantees that primitives whose hit dis‐
36 tance is exactly at (or very close to) tnear or tfar are hit or missed.
37 If you want to exclude intersections at tnear just pass a slightly en‐
38 larged tnear, and if you want to include intersections at tfar pass a
39 slightly enlarged tfar.
40
41 The ray must be aligned to 16 bytes.

43 EXIT STATUS
44 For performance reasons this function does not do any error checks,
45 thus will not set any error flags on failure.
