Generator Ray
The Generator Ray needs a starting point and a direction for the generation of a ray. When the ray hits a surface, information about the position and surface Normals, for example, will be calculated at that location.
Note:
This Node is only available when editing a classic Cinema 4D Node Material.
This Node can send a beam from a custom point of origin. If this ray hits a surface, the distance of the collision point, its position or its surface normal can be output, for example.
