CloserayTracingShader | The RayTracingShader to set parameter for. |
name | Name of the RayTracingAccelerationStructure in shader coder. |
nameID | Property name ID. Use Shader.PropertyToID to get this ID. |
rayTracingAccelerationStructure | The RayTracingAccelerationStructure to be used. |
computeShader | The ComputeShader to set parameter for. |
kernelIndex | Which kernel the acceleration structure is being set for. |
Adds a command to set the RayTracingAccelerationStructure to be used in a RayTracingShader or a ComputeShader.
When using a RayTracingShader, the RayTracingAccelerationStructure specified as argument is visible globally in all ray tracing shader types (e.g. closest hit, any hit, miss, etc.).
When using a ComputeShader, it binds a RayTracingAccelerationStructure to a ComputeShader kernel to be used for Inline Ray Tracing (Ray Queries). This functionality is available on platforms where this feature is supported. Use SystemInfo.supportsInlineRayTracing to check this.
In compute shaders, ray queries can be used to perform acceleration structure traversal and geometry intersection tests. To access this functionality, the HLSL code needs to be compiled using #pragma require inlineraytracing
.
#include "UnityRayQuery.cginc"
#pragma require inlineraytracing #pragma kernel CSRayQueryTest
RaytracingAccelerationStructure g_AccelStruct; RWTexture2D<float> g_Output;
[numthreads(8,4,1)] void CSRayQueryTest (uint3 id : SV_DispatchThreadID) { const uint rayFlags = RAY_FLAG_ACCEPT_FIRST_HIT_AND_END_SEARCH; UnityRayQuery<rayFlags> rayQuery;
RayDesc ray; ray.Origin = float3(0, 0, 0); ray.Direction = float3(0, 1, 0); ray.TMin = 0; ray.TMax = 10000;
rayQuery.TraceRayInline(g_AccelStruct, rayFlags, 0xff, ray); rayQuery.Proceed();
g_Output[id.xy] = (rayQuery.CommittedStatus() == COMMITTED_TRIANGLE_HIT) ? 1.0 : 0.0; }
This is a simple compute shader that checks if a ray with the origin at (0, 0, 0) and direction (0, 1, 0) intersects any geometry consisting of triangles. g_AccelStruct
shader object can be bound using SetRayTracingAccelerationStructure function.
