AMD’s latest GPUOpen post adds animation support to its Dense Geometry Format (DGF). You can use DGF on today’s GPUs through shaders, but true hardware-accelerated DGF is planned for “future RDNA GPUs”, which means RDNA5. DGF was first shown in 2024, and AMD also published a provisional Vulkan extension this summer.

What DGF does: it packs small chunks of a mesh (up to 64 vertices and 64 triangles) into 128-byte blocks. Each block stores positions in a compact way and uses a light topology scheme. The new sample shows how to animate by blending vertices on the GPU, then writing the updated positions back into those blocks.
