Modern Rendering Culling Techniques | Hacker News

Occlusion culling is especially hard in user-generated 3D worlds with windows, translucent surfaces, and long sightlines.

The article says the cost of culling can outweigh the performance benefit in large dynamic scenes.

As a result, level of detail and impostors matter more than traditional occlusion culling in these environments.

The takeaway for metaverse-style platforms is that scaling interactive worlds needs broader rendering optimizations to avoid frame drops.
