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. Custom shaders can be used with CanvasGroup to also apply effects like drop shadows or glows to a group of objects as a single one, greatly enhancing the flexibility of the 2D engine.
