I even still have the [...] ## Ray tracing massive amounts of animated geometry using tetrahedral cages DevFeed: [Ray tracing massive amounts of animated geometry using tetrahedral cages]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Holger Gruen Published: 2026-07-22T01:00:00Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [AMD GPUOpen]() Topics: [Ray Tracing](), [GPU](), [real-time]() Tags: [agility-sdk](), [animation](), [architecture](), [article-release](), [directx](), [game-development](), [gpu](), [graphics](), [graphics-apis](), [memory](), [microsoft-agility-sdk](), [microsoft-directx](), [optimization](), [performance](), [ray-tracing](), [raytracing](), [real-time](), [research](), [reuse](), [technical-article](), [technical-articles](), [white-paper]() ### AI overview The article explains a ray-tracing method for massive animated scenes that uses low-resolution tetrahedral cages to deform geometry while reusing static mini-meshes and mini-BLASes. This reduces per-frame update and memory costs, with the paper demonstrating roughly 585 million animated triangles at 60 frames per second on an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT at 1080p. ### Source excerpt 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. ## 2026 Real-Time Shading Ecosystem Survey Results DevFeed: [2026 Real-Time Shading Ecosystem Survey Results]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: jphilips (jeff@khronosgroup.org) Published: 2026-07-21T13:00:00Z Content type: release Language: en Sources: [Blogs Khronos Blog]() Topics: [releases](), [shaders](), [real-time](), [Programming](), [glsl](), [GPU]() Tags: [2026](), [blog](), [debugging](), [developers](), [glsl](), [graphics](), [porting](), [real-time](), [report](), [survey]() ### AI overview Khronos reports results from a 2026 survey of more than 400 shader developers, graphics programmers, rendering engineers, and tools creators. Shader debugging and profiling were the leading reported pain point, while cross-platform shader porting also affected a majority of respondents. ### Source excerpt Khronos releases the 2026 Real-Time Shading Ecosystem Survey Report, a summary of insights from over 400 shader developers, graphics programmers, rendering engineers, and tools creators. Conducted between June 16 and July 10, 2026, the survey captures a clear picture of how the real-time shading community works today -- and where standardization efforts can deliver the greatest impact. ## AMD FSR Upscaling 4.1 RDNA 3 Support Now Available in FSR SDK 2.3 Update DevFeed: [AMD FSR Upscaling 4.1 RDNA 3 Support Now Available in FSR SDK 2.3 Update]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Jason Lacroix; Alexander Blake-Davies Published: 2026-06-24T19:07:00Z Content type: release Language: en Sources: [AMD GPUOpen]() Topics: [SDK](), [Machine learning]() Tags: [amd](), [amd-fsr-3](), [amd-fsr-frame-generation](), [amd-fsr-framegeneration](), [amd-fsr-ray-regeneration](), [amd-fsr-rayregeneration](), [amd-fsr-sdk](), [amd-fsr-upscaling](), [announcement](), [denoising](), [ecosystem](), [fsr-sdk](), [game-development](), [gaming](), [gpu-open-effects](), [gpuopen-effects](), [graphics](), [improvements](), [ml](), [news](), [performance](), [product-blogs](), [product-release](), [quality](), [ray-tracing](), [raytracing](), [rdna](), [real-time](), [redstone](), [sdk](), [super-resolution](), [update]() ### AI overview AMD FSR SDK 2.3 expands ML-based FSR Upscaling 4.1.1 support to Radeon RX 7000 Series GPUs using RDNA 3 architecture.
