Update on Path-Traced Global Illumination Progress

Inspired by all the shiny new RTX stuff, I've been working more on SEUS PTGI and want to share my progress.

If you're a Gold patron, you've probably tested out SEUS PTGI E1, the first experimental version of SEUS with path-traced lighting. It was a good first attempt, but there were myriad problems that were visually unappeali...

I'm letting you guys know so you don't have to wonder what happened if I'm inactive for a while. Thanks for understanding.

This exciting new development opens up a whole new world of possibilities! Amo...

Biome-specific features are now possible than...
