Can I retrieve information from ray casting?

Questions
1

I’m currently working on a project and I was wondering if it is possible to use ray casting on objects and retrieve information (e.g. color, opacity) of the point it hits on the surface.

Hi @AbdulrehmanSuliman

Check out the relevant docs page Mesh Picking | Babylon.js Documentation

And also PickingInfo | Babylon.js Documentation

Then this forum post for something more specific Get Texture color value at ray collision point

Hi @AbdulrehmanSuliman

The solution for the issue I opened was ok and working. But thinks about how often will you use it cause it’s performance expensive.

And if there is more than one object stacked behind each other can I penetrate and get the information of the objects or surfaces behind?
