Abstract
A system for facilitating ray trace operations with shared traversal performs a pre-test operation that includes testing one or more volumes against an acceleration structure associated with a virtual environment to identify a set of candidate nodes of the acceleration structure. The virtual environment comprises one or more virtual objects defined by one or more object components. The system also performs a ray trace operation based upon the set of candidate nodes of the acceleration structure.
