Description
This ray direction specification type emits a bundle of rays from each starting ray position, where the ray directions in the ray bundle target a hexagonal grid of points defined in angle space.
Navigation
This feature can be accessed by selecting Directions to Hexagonal Grid Points in Angle Space as the ray direction type on the Positions/Directions tab of a detailed source dialog box.
