Hi buddy!

This is such a big thing you've done here. Looks stunning! Any plans to release this?

Implemented multithreaded shadow map generation. The entire render process was single-threaded, now shadow map generation uses D3D11 multithreading (command lists). To test it, I used the same scenario I have been using, but now there are 4 lights generating shadows (white directional light, red point light, green spotlight and a blue spotlight). This setup uses all available shadow mapping capacity (4 shadow maps for directional/sun light and 8 shadow maps for point/spot lights).

The single-threaded method renders the scene in 13ms, while the multithreaded method renders in 8ms. That is a substantial improvement.

The drawback of D3D11 multithreading is that only nvidia supports it (as far as I know), so other hardware may not benefit as much.
