fRenderer² is a hybrid path-tracer built for one purpose - highly realistic rendering in real time*

TODO:

-	the core engine (done) 
-	deffered rasterizing (aka the part that makes it hybrid, and not entirely path tracing) (done) 
-	The tracing function (done) 
-	github page? (done)
-	Spatial split BVH (similar aproach to the production-ready cycles renderer) 
-	Woop ray/triangle intersection 
-	Some basic hand optimization (hand-written kernels etc) 
-	logo (I know I have great priorities) 
-	everything else (who cares) 
-	potential integration with blender? (no lol) 

Planned features

-	Ridiciously fast path tracing (hopefully) 
-	Spatiotemporal filtering (simple to start but I have a paper somewhere, really needed since I have a budget of 1 sample per pixel) 
-	Non-path traced giant data sets (essentially designed for smaller entities that are going to be instanced, like grass for instance) 
-	Dynamic sky with volumetric clouds (ported over from fEngine) 
-	Fast & simple volumetric lighting (helps with realism) (does not utilize path tracing) 
-	Physically based rendering (would be a shame if I didn't use it with pathtracing lol)

	(simplified aproach because every triangle consists of the verticies (0,0,0) (1,0,0) and (0,1,0) while the ray is 			transformed to unit triangle space)

	fantastic tutorial about equirectangular maps (i;e most hdrs) 

* 30 samples per pixel at 720p, 150k tris. (1 sample per pixel) 

This project is abandoned! Go check out https://github.com/UglySwedishFish/Rak instead, it is very similar to this project. (But also much more complicated)
