       | And I find Apple's intro to mesh shading to be a fairly good
       | primer for someone unfamiliar with Mesh shading

           | AMD's "From vertex shader to mesh shader" [1] helps navigate
           | between the older pipeline to the newer pipeline. Links in
           | the sidebar get into other things like procedural geometry.
           | 
           | "Mesh Shaders and Meshlet Culling in Metal 3" [2] was also a
           | good tutorial to learn about the mesh shading computation
           | model.
           | 
           | I did most of my work in Metal. Apple WWDC's "Transform your
           | geometry with Metal mesh shaders" [3] helped introduce it
           | there. I liked playing with it in Swift -- this was a port of
           | Apple's demos to Swift [4]. The Metal Shading Language manual
           | also helps get your head around it. [5]
