Debuting in Assassin's Creed Shadows, it enables rendering millions of tiny geometric details simultaneously by streaming dense assets through a virtual geometry pipeline, eliminating the need for manually authored LODs. At GDC, engineers Lionel Berenguier and Jack Minnetian detailed the implementation challenges, covering rasterization improvements, extensions to the deferred material system, and GPU-driven streaming architecture. A demo using NVIDIA's Zorah tech demo assets showcases the system's geometric complexity handling.
