• Why Important:

  • Scene graphs are the backbone of game engines like Unity or Unreal, representing the hierarchical structure of objects.
  • They handle transformations, instancing, and visibility efficiently.

• Learn To:

  • Traverse scene graphs for operations like toggling visibility or applying global transformations.
  • Understand shared nodes (e.g., meshes, materials, lights) and their impact on rendering.
