What a year it has been, with the number of Godot submissions in game jams rising to new heights, more people working for the Godot Foundation than ever before , and most industry award shows featuring one if not more games made with Godot. And with that, the 2024 season comes to an end. A busy year inside the project as well.

This post gathers best practices based on our experiences so far using NVIDIA RTX ray tracing in games. It can be directly in the AS build calls or in some related task like the culling of the objects. Cull instances for TLAS. Instead, cull instances depending on the situation. Instances should share the base mesh BLAS.
