Volumetric renderer
This project was part of my school curriculum, but was specifically set-up for us to choose a
subject we'd like to work on. Since I was starting to get interested in graphics programming,
I wanted to do something in that field and chose to do volumetric fog.
The repository currently has NDA code, so I can't link it directly.

I was completely new to the subject, so I started with researching different ways of implementing
volumetric fog in particular. Seeing the project's time limitations, I opted to implement a simpler
algorithm based on an older paper (Tóth, Umenhoffer / Real-time Volumetric Lighting in Participating Media, 2009).
When implementing, I read through the paper and followed the formulas in there and wrote them in
code in a full screen post processing pass. I also used Tomas Ohberg's implementation
(link to YouTube, link to GitLab)
to cross reference my code and outcomes, since it follows the same paper and the project showed my desirable outcomes.
