Hi

I have a use case where I would like to cast rays several times a second near avatar and ignore the avatar node and its children. Is there a way to do this and if not would this be a candidate to the API. So you could also give node(s) to ignore in the ray cast?

You could try setting different parent nodes for the avatar and the other parts of the scene.

Or just iterate over the results and check if the node to ignore is in the list of parents of the intersection node.

Hi

Thank you for the replies. I am currently doing the latter: Manually iterating the parents but that results some unnecessary processing I would like to optimize out. The different parent node might be a working solution in this specific case all though it is sub optimal as generic solution because it makes the scene graph more complex.

This would be solved with the node flags that I have in mind. Each node would get a specific set of optional flags like invisible, noCastShadow and also noRayQuery.
