Shaders are used to create many effects, like “water”, “fire” and more. In order to understand them and become a wizard/witch, we have to learn a bit about meshes first. A mesh is made (usually!)

This post gathers best practices based on our experiences so far using NVIDIA RTX ray tracing in games. Flagging instances or geometries as opaque allows uninterrupted hardware intersection search and prevents invocation of the any-hit shader. Consider alpha testing instead of blending. Instances should share the base mesh BLAS.
