Those typically shouldn’t add instability to the engine, but may require doing some changes in your scripts, scenes, and shaders if you were using the affected APIs.

Since we create a rectangle rendered at the top layer through code, users(who use this solution) won’t notice it, making it both elegant and convenient.

In DirectX Raytracing (DXR) this self-intersection check would be implemented in an any-hit shader. Finally, the method does not rely on self-intersection rejection using an any-hit shader and has a fixed overhead per shading point. In the user shader, the object-space hit point is reconstructed and transformed into world-space.
