Deferred rendering

This mod adds deferred rendering support to KSP. This is a new mod independent from Scatterer and EVE.

Deferred rendering decouples geometry rendering from lighting, allowing for more modern lighting techniques to be used, and better lighting performance with many light sources.

Better lighting, automatic PBR conversion

True volumetric clouds release 4

For the next update I plan to work on better cloud shapes and variety to take full advantage of the new lighting implemented in this update.

New lighting model

Thank you for the support and enjoy :)...
