C Specification
Possible values of flags in the instance modifying the behavior of
that instance are:
// Provided by VK_KHR_acceleration_structure
typedef enum VkGeometryInstanceFlagBitsKHR {
VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_TRIANGLE_FACING_CULL_DISABLE_BIT_KHR = 0x00000001,

VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_FORCE_NO_OPAQUE_BIT_KHR = 0x00000008,
// Provided by VK_EXT_opacity_micromap
VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_FORCE_OPACITY_MICROMAP_2_STATE_BIT_EXT = 0x00000010,
// Provided by VK_EXT_opacity_micromap
VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_DISABLE_OPACITY_MICROMAPS_BIT_EXT = 0x00000020,
VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_TRIANGLE_FRONT_COUNTERCLOCKWISE_BIT_KHR = VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_TRIANGLE_FLIP_FACING_BIT_KHR,
// Provided by VK_NV_ray_tracing
VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_TRIANGLE_CULL_DISABLE_BIT_NV = VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_TRIANGLE_FACING_CULL_DISABLE_BIT_KHR,
// Provided by VK_NV_ray_tracing
VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_TRIANGLE_FRONT_COUNTERCLOCKWISE_BIT_NV = VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_TRIANGLE_FRONT_COUNTERCLOCKWISE_BIT_KHR,
// Provided by VK_NV_ray_tracing
VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_FORCE_OPAQUE_BIT_NV = VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_FORCE_OPAQUE_BIT_KHR,
// Provided by VK_NV_ray_tracing
VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_FORCE_NO_OPAQUE_BIT_NV = VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_FORCE_NO_OPAQUE_BIT_KHR,
// Provided by VK_EXT_opacity_micromap
// VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_FORCE_OPACITY_MICROMAP_2_STATE_EXT is a legacy alias
VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_FORCE_OPACITY_MICROMAP_2_STATE_EXT = VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_FORCE_OPACITY_MICROMAP_2_STATE_BIT_EXT,
// Provided by VK_EXT_opacity_micromap
// VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_DISABLE_OPACITY_MICROMAPS_EXT is a legacy alias

// Equivalent to VkGeometryInstanceFlagBitsKHR
typedef VkGeometryInstanceFlagBitsKHR VkGeometryInstanceFlagBitsNV;Description
-
VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_TRIANGLE_FACING_CULL_DISABLE_BIT_KHR disables face culling for this instance.
-
VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_TRIANGLE_FLIP_FACING_BIT_KHR specifies that the facing determination for geometry in this instance is inverted. Because the facing is determined in object space, an instance transform does not change the winding, but a geometry transform does.
-
VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_FORCE_OPAQUE_BIT_KHR causes this instance to act as though VK_GEOMETRY_OPAQUE_BIT_KHR were specified on all geometries referenced by this instance. This behavior can be overridden by the SPIR-V
NoOpaqueKHRray flag. -
VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_FORCE_NO_OPAQUE_BIT_KHR causes this instance to act as though VK_GEOMETRY_OPAQUE_BIT_KHR were not specified on all geometries referenced by this instance. This behavior can be overridden by the SPIR-V
OpaqueKHRray flag.
VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_FORCE_NO_OPAQUE_BIT_KHR and VK_GEOMETRY_INSTANCE_FORCE_OPAQUE_BIT_KHR must not be used in the same flag.
