Ok, so I'm completely stuck trying to debug this.
Left is pathtraced reference, right is my realtime renderer. Top row are metals, bottom row are dielectrics, and roughness goes from 0 to 1 left to right.

Light leaks are driving me crazy. World space irradiance cache using spatial hashing.
Does anyone have tips to prevent them? Usually happens when ray_t < cell_size, but I haven't found a good way to deal with it. Shrinking the cell size is way too expensive.

Dear ImGui now embeds a vector/scalable version of the classic font by default, manually subsetted/optimized so it fits in 18 KB (opt-out possible). Embedding ensures easily and readily usable in all contexts. Should default to new one on most setups. Here's a compare of both. #ChristmasMiracle
