rtcDisableGeometry(3)

💅 rtcDisableGeometry(3) — Embree Ray Tracing Kernels 4

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're learning how to make a geometry not exist (visually, at least) and honestly? it's giving god mode 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

rtcDisableGeometry — disables the geometry, periodt 💀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <embree4/rtcore.h>

void rtcDisableGeometry(RTCGeometry geometry);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the rtcDisableGeometry function does exactly what it says on the tin: it disables the geometry you hand it (that's the geometry argument, bestie 👑). a disabled geometry is not rendered — it's literally just vibing in the void, invisible, unbothered, no cap.

and here's the cute part: every geometry is enabled by default at construction time ✨. so like, it comes out the box ready to slay, and you're the one choosing to bench it.

🚨 important, don't skip this one: after you disable a geometry, the scene containing that geometry must be committed using rtcCommitScene for the change to actually have effect. like, the disable is a whole rumor until the commit makes it official, fr fr 😭

---

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

if something goes wrong (on failure), an error code gets set, and you can go query it with rtcGetDeviceError. it's giving "check your notifications" energy 🙈
