> Refracts the given 3D incidence vector against a surface with the given normal using the given refraction index ratio, eta

```c
SHZ_INLINE shz_vec3_t shz_vec3_refract(shz_vec3_t incidence, shz_vec3_t normal, float eta) SHZ_NOEXCEPT;
```

Refracts the given 3D `incidence` vector against a surface with the given `normal` using the given refraction index ratio, `eta`.

## Parameters

| --- | --- | --- |
| `incidence` | `shz_vec3_t` |  |
| `normal` | `shz_vec3_t` |  |
| `eta` | `float` |  |

## Returns

`shz_vec3_t`
