class RenderingPipeline(DebugObject):
    """ This is the core class, driving all other classes. To use this
    pipeline, your code has to call this *after* the initialization of ShowBase:

        renderPipeline = RenderingPipeline()
        renderPipeline.loadSettings("pipeline.ini")
        renderPipeline.create()

    The pipeline will setup all required buffers, tasks and shaders itself. To
    add lights, see the documentation of LightManager.

    How it works:

    You can see an example buffer view at http://i.imgur.com/mZK6TVj.png

    The pipeline first renders all normal objects (parented to render) into a
    buffer, using multiple render targets. These buffers store normals,
    position and material properties. Your shaders have to output these
    values, but there is a handy api, just look at
    Shaders/DefaultObjectShader.fragment.

    After that, the pipeline splits the screen into tiles, typically of the
    size 32x32. For each tile, it computes which lights affect which tile,
    called Tiled Deferred Shading. This is written to a buffer.

    The next step is applying the lighting. This is done at half window
    resolution only, using Temporal Reprojection. I don't aim to explain
    Temporal Reprojection here, but basically, I render only each second
    pixel each frame. This is simply for performance.

    The lighting pass iterates through the list of lights per tile, and
    applies both lighting and shadows to each pixel, using the material
    information from the previous rendered buffers.

    After the lighting pass, a combiner pass combines both the current
    frame and the last frame, this is required because of
    Temporal Reprojection.

    At this step, we already have a frame we could display. In the next passes,
    only anti-aliasing and post-processing effects like motion blur are added.

    In the meantime, the LightManager builds a list of ShadowSources which
    need an update. It creates a scene render and renders the scene from the
    view of the shadow sources to the global shadow atlas. There are a limited
    amount of shadow updates per frame available, and the updates are stored
    in a queue. So when displaying many shadow-lights, not each shadowmap is
    update each frame. The reason is, again, performance. When you need a
    custom shadow caster shader, e.g. for alpha blending, you should use the
    Shader/DefaultShaowCaster.* as prefab.

    """ This is the core class, driving all other classes. To use this
    pipeline, your code has to call *after* the initialization of ShowBase:

        renderPipeline = RenderingPipeline()
        renderPipeline.loadSettings("pipeline.ini")
        renderPipeline.create()

    The pipeline will setup all required buffers, tasks and shaders itself. To
    add lights, see the documentation of LightManager.

    How it works:

    You can see an example buffer view at http://i.imgur.com/mZK6TVj.png

    The pipeline first renders all normal objects (parented to render) into a
    buffer, using multiple render targets. These buffers store normals,
    position and material properties. Your shaders have to output these
    values, but there is a handy api, just look at
    Shaders/DefaultObjectShader.fragment.

    After that, the pipeline splits the screen into tiles, typically of the
    size 32x32. For each tile, it computes which lights affect which tile,
    called Tiled Deferred Shading. This is written to a buffer.

    The next step is applying the lighting. This is done at half window
    resolution only, using Temporal Reprojection. I don't aim to explain
    Temporal Reprojection here, but basically, I render only each second
    pixel each frame. This is simply for performance.

    The lighting pass iterates through the list of lights per tile, and
    applies both lighting and shadows to each pixel, using the material
    information from the previous rendered buffers.

    After the lighting pass, a combiner pass combines both the current
    frame and the last frame, this is required because of
    Temporal Reprojection.

    At this step, we already have a frame we could display. In the next passes,
    only anti-aliasing and post-processing effects like motion blur are added.

    In the meantime, the LightManager builds a list of ShadowSources which
    need an update. It creates a scene render and renders the scene from the
    view of the shadow sources to the global shadow atlas. There are a limited
    amount of shadow updates per frame available, and the updates are stored
    in a queue. So when displaying many shadow-lights, not each shadowmap is
    update each frame. The reason is, again, performance. When you need a
    custom shadow caster shader, e.g. for alpha blending, you should use the
    Shader/DefaultShaowCaster.* as prefab.
