- gmueckl 7y agoMost systems that I am aware of use a plain BVH. Memory requirements for the acceleration structure are not that much of a concern in most cases. Memory hogs typically are (in descending order) volumetric data (smoke/fire/...), textures and only then geometry. And because a BVH leaf node typically contains a few triangles, the BVH itself is always smaller than the geometry data.
