In this article, we study some of the important characteristics that affect the performance of ray-tracing hierarchies. Location and orientation of space partitioning planes, the role of bounding volumes, void ares in the nodes of the hierarchy and hierarchy traversal methods are studied individually to determine their effect on performance. We then demonstrate how these characteristics can be combined to obtain object hierarchies that can out-perform some of the best known ray tracing hierarchies. Results are shown using standard ray-tracing benchmarks.
