The practical tips are organized into short, actionable items for developers working on ray tracing today. Enable the use of any-hit shaders only for those geometries that need it; for example, to do alpha testing. Consider alpha testing instead of blending. Consider representing mesh particles as instances in TLAS.

Heyyy, this pretty much looks like the sky projected onto the meshes, that's better! At that point of development, the sky reflection didn't respond to the camera position, so it basically looked like the sky was painted ontop of the mesh. alpha is planned to be soon, so those features will hopefully be ready to test by then.

The Potemkin model on the left is a development shot of what he looks like without any shaders. There are other possible solutions to making FRCs easier, but the real problem is in developer mindset, not in finding a solution.
