set_medium

Media nest: the innermost medium replaces the surrounding one. Cameras inside
media are detected automatically. A medium with zero absorption and scattering
creates a vacuum cavity. Intersecting, non-nested volume boundaries are unsupported.

Render scenes using pathtracing. Build 3D scenes out of spheres, cubes, planes, disks, triangles, cones, curves, line segments, cylinders, ellipsoids, and 3D models in the 'Wavefront' OBJ file format or the PLY Polygon File Format. Supports several material types, textures, multicore rendering, and tone-mapping. Based on the "Ray Tracing in One Weekend" book series. Peter Shirley (2018) <https://raytracing.github.io>.

set_medium function

<dl><dt>scene</dt>
<dd>A `ray_scene` containing closed spheres, cubes, ellipsoids, or
watertight consistently oriented triangle meshes.</dd>
<dt>medium</dt>
<dd>A description from [homogeneous_medium()], [grid_medium()], or
[nanovdb_medium()]. Use `NULL` to remove an attachment.</dd>
<dt>keep_surface</dt>
<dd>Default `FALSE`. Keep the object's surface material when
`TRUE`, for example to place a medium inside glass. Dielectric attenuation
adds absorption to the medium; it does not add emission.</dd></dl>
