Ray tracing massive amounts of animated geometry using tetrahedral cages

Animate compact tetrahedral cages and reuse static mini-BLASes to ray-trace hundreds of millions of triangles in real time, dramatically cutting per-frame update and memory costs for dense foliage, grass, and crowds.

Summary

Researchers have developed a method to efficiently animate and ray-trace vast amounts of geometry using compact tetrahedral cages, significantly reducing both memory usage and processing time for complex scenes like dense foliage and crowds. This innovation could enhance real-time graphics rendering in gaming and simulations.
