Abstract
Described herein is a technique for modifying a bounding volume hierarchy. The techniques include combining preferred orientations of child nodes of a first bounding box node to generate a first preferred orientation; based on the first preferred orientation, converting one or more child nodes of the first bounding box node into one or more oriented bounding box nodes; combining preferred orientations of child nodes of a second bounding box node to generate a second preferred orientation; and based on the second preferred orientation, maintaining one or more children of the second bounding box node as non-oriented bounding box nodes.
