World position offset simulation for ray traced instanced static meshes (beta) Allows ambient motion of foliage like trees and grass. Inexact Shadows (beta) Deals with potential mesh mismatches of ray traced and raster geometry. We have updated our RTXGI UE4 plugin with bugs fixes, image quality improvements, and support for UE4.26.

Performance regressions are treated as critical bugs. Geometry: Build with LODs from the start, batch static meshes, and constrain polycounts based on hardware targets. Reduce variants, embrace GPU instancing, and bake lighting when possible. That doesnt limit ambition. It enables consistency across devices.

We expect bugs with the beta, even some regressions which we have seen already, but we are working on fixes to the reported problems to be ready for the 3.2.4 Most FOSS tooling could not properly import FBX files or had horrible bugs. Much like the work we have done with FBX we'd just be repeating work for example with mesh conversion.
