A related talk of using Mesh shaders for Alan Wake 2 [this video] And I find Apple’s intro to mesh shading to be a fairly good primer for someone unfamiliar with Mesh shading [LINK]

This is a great read, thank you for sharing! I learned a lot from reading it and I'm pretty experienced in this space! I enjoyed checking out your other work too. OPs article heavily covers Vertex Amplification. I didn't realize VisionOS used Vertex Amplification for this, but it makes sense since the hardware supports it. For those interested in Mesh Shading (a few good videos released this week [1][2][3]), Vertex Amplification is a key tech for Mesh Shading, where one writes Object/Mesh functions (names in Metal API, called Task/Mesh/Amplification shaders in other APIs). Introduced by Nvidia in 2018 and only really available en masse for the last couple years, Vertex Amplification was the

For example OTOY uses CUDA renderering. [LINK] If you prefer actual code, [LINK] and "Mesh Shaders - The Future of Rendering" [LINK] "GPU driven Rendering with Mesh Shaders in Alan Wake 2" [this video]

Definitely reverse engineering and shaders. Watching these kinds of talks I realize, I'm not built for this: [this video]
