It lacks the ability to process mesh in a coarser grain than triangle, like meshlet culling. The underlying idea of the algorithm is, in the first place, to do culling, then draw the effective parts of mesh. With MeshShaders, the culling algorithms we use can be of great flexibility.

Book observes that his father would want him to do something else, and Saru comments that he still feels rage against the Ba’ul for the culling of his people. The Discovery spends some quality time in a space dock being repaired, while Saru and Book watch. He goes on to comment that the battle to overcome our emotions is a worthy endeavor.

using data oriented algorithms to process the culling of objects and both secondary command buffers and automatic batching to efficiently submit the draw primitives. It also has more useful built-in data types such as integer vectors. Animation streaming : Modern games have long cinematics, which require a lot of animation data.

It can be directly in the AS build calls or in some related task like the culling of the objects. Cull instances for TLAS. Instead, cull instances depending on the situation. For example, consider culling based on an expanded camera frustum. Use face culling only when required for correctness. Avoid deep recursion.

Up till now a significant missing feature in the renderer has been the ability to cull (prevent rendering) objects that are within the camera view, but occluded by another object (for instance a wall).

Rendering, while mostly a sequential process (GPUs are sequential), can be parallelized in a few places, like frustum culling and (in modern APIs such as Vulkan, Metal or DirectX12) creation of command lists. Neither need to retrieve data. Physics pushes data to Rendering. How is this achieved?

Retrieving data from VisualServer is slow, as it may need synchronization. A very harcoded way of passing user data to shaders is often used. All lights also support transmittance (to use with subsurface scattering) if shadows are enabled, but this will force the object to perform reverse culling when rendering to a shadow.
