EMITVERTEX(3G)

💅 EMITVERTEX — ok bestie, it's in section 3G of the manual, let's GO

✨ NAME ✨

EmitVertex — emit a vertex to the first vertex stream 🦋

---

🌸 DECLARATION 🌸

okay so this is the whole thing, no cap:

void EmitVertex(void);

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So here's the tea, bestie: EmitVertex is only available in the Geometry Shader, like it literally does not exist anywhere else, don't even try it. What it does is emit the current values of output variables to the current output primitive on the first (and possibly only) primitive stream. 👑

And if you're sitting there like "wait, isn't this just EmitStreamVertex()…" — yes girl, it is. It's equivalent to calling EmitStreamVertex() with stream set to 0. Same energy, shorter name, slay. 💅
