Hyperion

Hyperion gets an early cache system, to help speed up common and regular calculations.

The denoising algorithm seems to be working, with a few adjustments in the colour data.

I’ve been searching for some ways to speed up the render engine, and came across denoising.

A Hyperion render with 5000 samples, which ran for some 5 and a half hours!

The dead pixel issue, causing black pixels in renders, seems to be resolved.

Hyperion now has physically correct depth of field, thanks to its internal camera and lens elements.

Hyperion gets early normal texture mapping, model surface details starting to emerge.

Hyperion gets some early camera ISO and lens t-stop controls.

Hyperion gets some more efficient refraction, thanks to some rewritten code.

Hyperion gets UV and texture coordinate system, with first IBL renders coming out.
