/**
Implementation of a Deferred Shading engine in OGRE, using Multiple Render Targets and
HLSL/GLSL high level language shaders.
	// W.J. :wumpus: van der Laan 2005 //

Deferred shading renders the scene to a 'fat' texture format, using a shader that outputs colour, 
normal, depth, and possible other attributes per fragment. Multi Render Target is required as we 
are dealing with many outputs which get written into multiple render textures in the same pass.

After rendering the scene in this format, the shading (lighting) can be done as a post process. 
This means that lighting is done in screen space. Adding them requires nothing more than rendering 
a screenful quad; thus the method allows for an enormous amount of lights without noticable 
performance loss.

Little lights affecting small area ("Minilights") can be even further optimised by rendering 
their convex bounding geometry. This is also shown in this demo by 6 swarming lights.
