Hello,I use TraceGeometry within a ChannelShader. I want to figure out which polygon gets shaded at the moment. I thought that I could figure this out with using the VolumeDatas TraceGeometry method. But I always get the ID 1 returned, no matter which side (of a cube for example) gets shaded.
Does TraceGeometry work correctly? Is the "Face ID" really the polygon ID?
Maybe there is a better way of determining which polygon is currently shaded?
Thank you,
maxx

Unfortunatly the shader/material part of COFFEE is rather limited. In C++ it's quite easy to retrieve the current shaded polygon index.
Via BaseVolumeData::lhit you can access the current shaded polygon ID.
cheers,

Thank you for the hint.
But what is with the TraceGeometry function? Shouldn't this give me too the polygon-id?

I'm not sure. It could be a bug or maybe the documentation is just wrong. I have to ask our developers.
