VEX intersect(): Sending rays after rays Dec. 9, 2021, 3:39 a.m.

Hi Konstantin,

Awesome, thanks for the reply! I'll look into this!

VEX intersect(): Sending rays after rays Dec. 8, 2021, 5:23 a.m.

Hi all,


I'm struggling to understand how I can use an attr wrangle node (detail mode) to send rays and then evaluate the result (without a solver that loops over frames).

From m points, I need to n rays each, check if they intersect; then if they intersect send more rays from that new point (different direction) and so on. Similar to global illumination, with the concept of 'ray depth'.

Can somebody give me a pointer in how I would structure such an approach using VEX? Is this even possible in an attr wrangle node?


Thanks for any input & cheers,
Matt
