Description Returns the number of "Live" rays in the main ray buffer. Depending on the number of rays traced, it may be necessary to dimension ray index and ray counter variables as data type Huge_ instead of Long. Please see Multi-threaded Raytracing for more information.
Syntax count = GetLiveRayCount()
Parameters count (Long or Huge_) Number of "Live" rays in ray buffer.
Remarks Returns the number of "Live" rays in the main ray buffer. See Multi-threaded Raytrace for a detailed explanation of the meaning of a "Live" ray. This attribute is related to the allocation of rays to different CPUs during multi-threaded raytracing and their subsequent splitting.
