The state of the art report on Monte Carlo volume rendering by Jan Novák et al. [2018] gives an excellent introduction:

Mesh shaders produce things per workgroup, not per thread. Key difference to geometry shader and why they are more GPU friendly. Some vendors have flexible writing of the outputs (think shared memory) across threads in workgroup, others want thread N to write output N.

Nice work. Mesh shaders are also quite sensitive to the vertex exports. Though both vertex and mesh shaders can benefit of using hw barycentrics and pull vertex data in fragment shader, in case one has mostly tiny triangles.

Outlines based on object ids, a background gradient and a subtle vertical gradient overlay on the objects.
Fun, but a distraction from making decisions how to proceed with this 🫠
