Another essential tool, the Shader Graph heatmap, provides a visual estimate of the cost associated with different Shader Graph nodes. Developers can leverage this feedback to make informed decisions when optimizing shader programs. In some cases, Solid Angle Culling reduced ARTAS processing time by 60%.

This generally works and looks pretty, but it's quite shader intensive, which makes it not work on mobile or low end GPUs. First of all, you need to make sure your meshes have an UV2 layer. Godot lightmapper works with one texture per mesh, so sharing UVs between meshes will not give you more optimization.

This is being implemented by facilitating object instance binding data. That meant, that you couldn't inherit directely, but now that it's possible to create per-object binding data, it is possible to create wrapper classes that are proper classes , which can be inherited!

Flagging instances or geometries as opaque allows uninterrupted hardware intersection search and prevents invocation of the any-hit shader. Enable the use of any-hit shaders only for those geometries that need it; for example, to do alpha testing. Consider representing mesh particles as instances in TLAS.
