Rendering, while mostly a sequential process (GPUs are sequential), can be parallelized in a few places, like frustum culling and (in modern APIs such as Vulkan, Metal or DirectX12) creation of command lists. Near Phase: Generating collision information of overlapping objects. Neither need to retrieve data. How is this achieved?

Refactor the Image class to include modern data types. Implement Particle Shaders, with support for: Sorting, Collision and Soft Particles. Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. Refactor Image class to include modern data types. The Image class had to be refactored for more modern data types.

Rendering: Portal occlusion culling. Revamped collision layer grid in the inspector. Portal occlusion culling. Up till now a significant missing feature in the renderer has been the ability to cull (prevent rendering) objects that are within the camera view, but occluded by another object (for instance a wall).
