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.
This new version focuses on lighting and shading improvements. I originally planned it to be a performance update but most of the optimizations I tested didn't pan out. 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.
Cockpit droplets and incremental improvements to other features. Full changelog here:

This build contains all the features I showed off in the forum thread (godrays, underwater light rays and water interactions) except for cloud godrays as they still need a lot of work. Thank you for the support and enjoy :)...
