Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. It must be pre-baked for dynamic scenario geometry, but it offers support for full dynamic lights and dynamic objects. Implement post process effects: DOF Blur, Bloom and Tone Mapping. TODO for Milestone #4 (January 2017). Add Layered/Stencil rendering. Implement Decals.

Just set up the probe bounds and do a fast pre-bake of static objects. No lightmaps or anything of the sort are required, providing a very quick and efficient workflow. For low-end systems or mobile devices, we provide a more classical lightmapping workflow. It's also very easy to use. Improved flat style box.
