Introduction to amplification and mesh shaders, the new programmable stages available in modern GPUs, and how to use them to implement view frustum culling and object LOD selection on the GPU using the Diligent Engine API

Mesh shaders are the new geometry processing pipeline introduced in the most recent generation of GPUs that replaces the old approach. This article gives an introduction to mesh shaders and shows how they can be used to create a simple view frustum culling and object LOD selection system on the GPU using the Diligent Engine API.

Being a 3D graphics enthusiast for many years, I have worked on various rendering technologies including deformable terrain, physically-based water, shadows, volumetric and post-processing effects and other. I run Diligent Graphics as a place where I can experiment, learn new technologies, try new algorithms and share my ideas.
