Instancing is used to render similar objects (mesh, material and misc settings), reducing the pressure over the rendering API. There are special versions of meshes to render when doing shadow maps or depth pre-pass. Re-written most shaders to reduce VGPR usage, thus improve occupancy. A set of benchmarks was created at : [link].

Flagging instances or geometries as opaque allows uninterrupted hardware intersection search and prevents invocation of the any-hit shader. 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. Do this whenever possible.

In order to deform the mesh according to the bone transforms, each vertex (generally "point of a triangle") can be influenced by up to 4 bones. The actual deformation usually happens in the vertex shader , where the bone transforms get looked up from a texture. (In added TIME uniform to all "scriptable" shaders.

But 3D games are usually stuck with a certain 3D model for a character and deforming the mesh is a pain to do. We've had toon shaders for years that can make 3D look like 2D, but Team Red has perfected it to such a degree that I sometimes can't even tell I'm looking at 3D. The lighting and shading is also incredible.
