rtcCommitGeometry(3)

✨ rtcCommitGeometry ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Embree Ray Tracing Kernels 3 manual, section 3, and today's main character is rtcCommitGeometry 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

rtcCommitGeometry — commits geometry changes

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <embree3/rtcore.h>

void rtcCommitGeometry(RTCGeometry geometry);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the way that rtcCommitGeometry works is — it's the function you call to commit all the geometry changes you've been making to a geometry (that's the geometry parameter, bestie 🫶).

here's the tea: after a geometry gets modified, you must call this function. not optional. not "eh I'll do it later". you call it so the internal state of the geometry gets properly updated. and why do you care? two reasons, both iconic:

• so you can perform interpolations using rtcInterpolate ✨
• so you can commit a scene containing the geometry using rtcCommitScene 🔥

no commit, no interpolation, no scene. that's the vibe check. 🧚

👑 EXIT STATUS 👑

if it fails, an error code gets set, and you can go query it with rtcGetDeviceError 👀

lowkey important: the error doesn't scream at you, it just quietly sets a code. so go check it. iykyk 💀
