This starts from mesh instance selection and their data. This starts from mesh instance selection and their data processing towards optimized tracing and shading of every hit that you encounter. Parallel mesh processing for instance data generation. Each instance alone requires 64 bytes of memory. Batched vertex data processing.

Through animation tools and code, each of the parts can be moved independently and the character animated. Each image part was converted to mesh. The USP of Spine animation software is how smoothly it converts an image part to mesh. In each mesh vertices are placed to define how we want to move the character.

In order to understand them and become a wizard/witch, we have to learn a bit about meshes first. A mesh is made (usually!) You can see the mesh as the structure of your object, built by combining its triangles together. Now that we’ve scratched the topic of meshes, we can finally talk about shader. Shaders Theory.

Consider representing mesh particles as instances in TLAS. For particles rendered as triangle meshes, having a unique instance for each particle can be a reasonable solution. Instances should share the base mesh BLAS. I recommend avoiding careless payload usage, though adding complex code to pack values is rarely beneficial.

This is a screenshot that displays the object-space position of each pixel as the color. Heyyy, this pretty much looks like the sky projected onto the meshes, that's better! At that point of development, the sky reflection didn't respond to the camera position, so it basically looked like the sky was painted ontop of the mesh.
