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.

If a shader is applied to them, or if transparency is changed, the effect is applied to every node individually, given they each do it in their own draw call.
