Tired of having to reload your game for each small little code change or fix? If you are running your game on an external device ( e.g. Android), and using "Deploy with Remote Debug", live script reloading will magically happen in there too. Godot now supports live script reloading! Remote scene inspector. Our goal with 3.0

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.
