dhart.raytracer.EmbreeBVH

class dhart.raytracer.EmbreeBVH(geometry: MeshInfo, use_precise: bool = False)

An acceelerated datastructure optimized for high performane ray intersections

Note

A BVH is an accelerated data structure that’s used for high performance ray intersections. All functions that ustilize the embree ray tracer require the mesh first to be converted to this format.

__init__(geometry: MeshInfo, use_precise: bool = False)

Create a new BVH from an existing mesh

Parameters:

• geometry – The mesh or meshes to create the BVH from.

• use_precise – Use a more precise, but slower ray intersection function

Example

Creating a BVH from a plane object

>>> from dhart.geometry import ConstructPlane
>>> from dhart.raytracer import EmbreeBVH

>>> MI = ConstructPlane()
>>> BVH = EmbreeBVH(MI)

Methods

AddMesh(mesh)

Add one or more new meshes to the BVH
