Rendering: Portal occlusion culling. Other areas: Animation "reset" track. Portal occlusion culling. Up till now a significant missing feature in the renderer has been the ability to cull (prevent rendering) objects that are within the camera view, but occluded by another object (for instance a wall).

NVIDIA OptiX curves are currently back-face culled, so rays that enter through the open end of a curve will miss the curve completely. that keeps denoising coherence from frame to frame in an animated sequence of frames. Open-ended curves are common and desirable and also better for performance. NVIDIA OptiX 7.4

 When batched, the animations from the Advanced Foliage Shader go a bit crazy and make the grass float around. The foliage shader has an alpha cutout value and uses a texture + culling set to off (it is visible from both sides of the planes). That’s it. When And it has just twelve vertices.
