Optimizing the Rendering of Hair: Volume and Geometry Shaders: V
Multiple BSP Trees
*** See Figure chartmultibsps.jpeg

BSP Tree Depth
With Max Leaf Constant at 24

BSP Tree Depth / Time
Depth = 10 / 0:34
Depth = 15 / 0:17
Depth = 18 / 00:15.5
Depth = 22 / 00:15.5
Depth = 26 / 0:17

*** See Figure chartbspdepth.jpeg

BSP Tree optimation
Depth Constant = 23

BSP Tree Leaf Size / Time
4 / 19.000
8 / 18.000
12 / 18.000
14 / 17.000
18 / 17.000
22 / 16.800
26 / 16.500
30 / 16.200
34 / 16.000
38 / 15.300
42 / 15.800
46 / 16.000
*** See Figure chartleafsize.jpeg

Sanity Check, for BSP Depth again, this time with Max Leaf size = 38
BSP Tree Depth, with Max Leafsize = 38
10 / 34
15 / 17
18 / 15.5
22 / 15.5
26 / 17

***See Figure HairRenderOptimization7.JPEG
Conclusion to BSP Settings:
For the default 6500 hairs, the settings
Depth = 20
Max Leaf size 38 are pretty good
