rtcGetSceneFlags(3)

✨ rtcGetSceneFlags ✨

ok so like, welcome to rtcGetSceneFlags(3) bestie 💖 — it's a lil page from the Embree Ray Tracing Kernels 4 manual, and it's literally just about peeking at what flags a scene is rocking. no drama, no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

rtcGetSceneFlags — returns the flags of the scene 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <embree4/rtcore.h>

enum RTCSceneFlags rtcGetSceneFlags(RTCScene scene);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So basically this function queries the flags of a scene. That's it, that's the whole vibe. You hand it a scene, it tells you what flags that scene currently has going on. 👑

And like, why would you even care? Because this is so useful when you want to set individual flags — like, say you only wanna turn on the robust mode but you do not want to mess with all the other flags that are already set. The way that you do that is:

RTCSceneFlags flags = rtcGetSceneFlags(scene);
rtcSetSceneFlags(scene, RTC_SCENE_FLAG_ROBUST | flags);

See what she did there?? Grab the existing flags first, then OR in the new one. iconic behavior fr fr. 🔥

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

Now for the part where things go wrong 😭 — if it fails, RTC_SCENE_FLAG_NONE gets returned, and an error code is set that you can go query using rtcGetDeviceError. so yeah, check that if you're getting nothing back, bestie, don't just sit there confused 🙈
