Inputs

Origin [XYZ ]

This is the ray’s point of origin in the global coordinate system.

Direction [XYZ ]

The ray’s Direction vector in the global coordinate system. If set to 0, 1, 0 the ray would, for example, trace along the global Z Y axis, i.e., upwards.

Max Distance [-∞..+∞m]

The Max Distance setting can be used to limit the ray’s search distance. If the ray does not meet a surface before this value is reached, the Node will output a FALSE signal at the Hit output.

If a value of -1 is applied, the distance limit will be disabled. The ray will then continue throughout the entire scene in the specified direction.

Ignore

Here you can select which objects should be taken into consideration:

• None: The first surface hit by the sample will be evaluated, regardless of whether or not it belongs to the same object or another object.
• Same Object: Only other objects in the scene will be taken into consideration by the sample.
• Other Object: Only the collision with a surface belonging to the same object will be evaluated.
