rtcDetachGeometry(3)

💖 rtcDetachGeometry(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Embree Ray Tracing Kernels 3 glow-up corner, where today we're learning how to break up with a geometry 💔✨ no cap, this one's short and sweet.

🌸 NAME 🌸

rtcDetachGeometry — detaches a geometry from the scene 🫶

literally it's the "it's not you, it's the scene" function.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <embree3/rtcore.h>

void rtcDetachGeometry(RTCScene scene, unsigned int geomID);

look at her. two args. no return value. iconic behavior. 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the way this works is: you hand it a scene (the scene argument) and a geometry ID (the geomID argument), and it detaches that geometry from that scene. once it's detached, the geometry is no longer contained in the scene — she's out, she's gone, she said bye. 🚪💨

and here's the part that's lowkey the best: this function is thread-safe 💅 which means multiple threads can detach geometries from a scene at the exact same time and nobody's gonna crash the party. multitasking queens only. 🧚✨

---

🎀 EXIT STATUS 🎀

if something goes wrong, an error code gets set — and you can go peek at it with rtcGetDeviceError. so like, always check on your girl, fr fr. 😭
