v0.0.3

General release

New rendering effects

• physicaly based bloom effect

• ray traced ambient occlusion

Ambient occlusion off

Ambient occlusion on

• Improved volumetric fog scattering

• Automatic exposure and average luminance

System updates

• Generally whole rendering system has been rewrite
• Improved Acceleration structure builds
• Improved queue submission granularity
• Entire Vullkan back end is now using VK_KHR_SYNCHRONISATION_2
• Fixed tone mapping on the sky box texture
• Made IBL pre-computations faster by not forcefully wait for GPU work
• And many more stability improvements
• De-noising of the visibility buffer
• Usage of push constants for the shader parameters
• VGrowableBuffer implementation and simplification of the geometry data management system

Todos

• Reimplement how lights are handled in the engine, so that volumetric scattering and shadow maps account for all light types
• Atmospheric scattering
• Implement Forward+ rendering
• And all the issues in the issue tab
