Abstract: A technique for performing ray tracing operations is provided. The technique includes arriving at a bounding box of a bounding volume hierarchy ("BVH") having an orientation defined based on a platonic solid; testing a ray for intersection with the bounding box; and continuing traversal of the BVH based on results of t...
