### 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.
