Future release plans

[Enigmatisms]

For version 1.5.0:

• Experiment on mixture BSDF, which should achieve: coating / plastic / realistic diffuse and more transmittance models.
• The demo scene for this version is the Lamborghini scene.

For version 1.6.0:

• Free view point rendering on the fly (camera pose / intrinsics being variables)
• Miscellaneous optimization: KD-tree implementation / code optimization for rendering speed
• Ambient occlusion renderer.
• The demo scene for this version is the Snooker scene and the Minecraft scene

For version 1.7.0:

• Volumetric rendering upgrade: equiangular sampling
• Heterogeneous rendering should be implemented. Density-based rendering / delta tracking.

Version 1.7.0 might be the last active version of this repo. I will shift my focus onto dynamic real-time global illumination rendering in the future.

If you got some feature requests, feel free to open an issue (opening a discussion is more welcomed). This issue is locked for collaborators only.

Version 1.6 and 1.7 won't be available unless:

• Taichi lang solves its problem in real_func (huge project JIT compilation delay) and optimize it's performance to the maximum.
• I am available.
  Please, stay tuned.

The next thing to be done in this project, is the implementation of AO renderer.
