Octahedral impostors wip: set up the textures & render passes, made them render test albedo, normal & depth maps with a fixed hard-coded projection, almost ready to generate actual atlases with proper projections

@lisyarus Neat hack from the 90s: you can just use 4-8 bitmaps that don't rotate. Nobody will notice. When you get close enough to swap to a mesh, rotate the mesh to match the bitmap!

@TomF @lisyarus so, non deterministically rotated tree models?

[tomf@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@eniko @lisyarus No no no. Viewer determined. As Shrodinger intended.

@TomF @eniko @lisyarus mind blown.

@sol_hsa @TomF @lisyarus i still can't tell if he's trolling us or not
