Integration questions

Hi All

1) I'm passing my data to rays as following (pseudocode)

struct MyRay : public RTCRay {

 MyData * data;

};

It works fine but how to do same with ispc where ray is "varying"?

2) For ispc I've built object files for rtcore_ispc.ispc and myfile.ispc that contains only one export function with rtcInit(). For all others (creating scene, set callbacks, cast rays) I use same C++ code as without ispc. Is it correct?

Thanks

1) ISPC does not support classes, thus you cannot derive from the Embree ray this way. However, what you can do is just create a new ISPC struct that contains the Embree ray as first argument (e.g. struct ExtendedRay { RTCRay ray; MyData* data; }) and do proper casting.

2) If I understand correct your questions targets on using the C++ and ISPC version of Embree in the same program? This is supported, the only thing to be carefull is to set RTC_INTERSECT1/4/8/16 flags in case one creates the scene on the C++ side and wants to call the rtcIntersect function in ISPC later on that scene.
