Ray Continuity
Use the Ray Continuity node to specify that rays should cross a pair boundary as if it were invisible. Pair boundaries appear when the geometry sequence ends in Form Assembly instead of Form Union. Such boundaries require special handling because the mesh elements on either side of the pair boundary aren’t required to match up exactly.
Pair Selection
Select one or more identity pairs to allow rays to cross between the source and destination boundaries of these pairs. Such identity pairs are typically created automatically on interior boundaries when the geometry sequence ends in a Form Assembly node instead of a Form Union node.
The Ray Continuity node does not cause the ray position components to change discontinuously; the source and destination boundaries for the identity pairs must be overlapping.
If the geometry sequence ends in a Form Union node, the Ray Continuity node usually isn’t necessary because rays can freely cross interior boundaries where no boundary condition has been applied.
