rtcNewBVH(3)

bestie, welcome to rtcNewBVH(3) from the Embree Ray Tracing Kernels 4 manual. it's giving 'create a new BVH object' and honestly? iconic. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

rtcNewBVH — creates a new BVH object. that's the whole name, no notes. periodt. 💅

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

okay so here's the include and the signature, copy-paste ready:

#include <embree4/rtcore.h>

RTCBVH rtcNewBVH(RTCDevice device);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so rtcNewBVH literally creates a new BVH object and returns a handle to this BVH. that BVH object is reference counted with an initial reference count of 1. the handle can be released using the rtcReleaseBVH API call. no cap. 💖

the BVH object can be used to build a BVH in a user-specified format over user-specified primitives. see the documentation of the rtcBuildBVH call for more details. iykyk. 🦋

🚨 EXIT STATUS 🚨

on failure an error code is set that can be queried using rtcGetDeviceError. so if it flops, that's your vibe check. 😭
