Hi Per, I'm a bit rusty on this topic, too many topics coming flying by each day that niche stuff drops out of focus quite quickly...
Something I can answer right away is to to explain the relationship between the CullingSet CullingMode and CullingMask. The Mode is the base mode that specifies what the overall mode should be, while the CullingMask is the current active subset of this mode, that handles the fact that different faces of the view frustum get disabled when subgraphs are completely inside the faces of the view frustum. At least that what I can recall/work out from a brief look through the code. Robert.
