lumen

global illumination renderer

1. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/jlukacs/lumen.git
2. Update the submodules: git submodule update --init
3. Build the project using an environment in the build directory.

Lumen is executed on the command line: lumen <SCENE_FILE>. Scenes are created in files and provided to the renderer. See SCENE.md for an explanation of all the scene commands. An example scene file is shown below:
