Analysis The whole effect can be split into two parts, one for the simulation of the mesh and one for the rendering of the mesh. Rendering is even more straightforward, just use the Graphic component and draw lines directly. Combined with the knowledge of the rendering, the texture is actually very close to the rendering vertex data.

Rendering is highly nonlinear, so linear operations on texture maps do not produce the correct linearly changing appearance.

Since we don’t want to render the scene once to get the depth map, we also don’t need a depth map for a specific angle, such as the top depth map for a rain mask. So we just need to copy the depth map and use it before rendering the transparent objects. That’s because there will be a read-on-write problem with gl.

In hybrid rendering, using the same LOD for rasterization and ray tracing can be considered. Consider writing a safe default value to unused payload fields.
