Contributions

​Most back-end rendering systems, some highlights:
 

• Instanced Rendering
  Data for each instance stored in a const buffer in which an array
  is indexed with the instance id.
   

• Multi-pass Post-processing
  A post-process pass can use up to eight resource passes where heavier work such as blurring can be done at a lower resolution. These resource passes can then be read from in a final fullscreen pass.
  The system allows for layering of effects by providing the output of the previous post-process pass to the current one.
  It can be seen in the game in the form of radial blur, god rays and bloom.
   

• Particle System
  CPU-based system with particles stored in vertices of which are "converted" to quads in a geometry shader.
