downscaling the environment probe to 1x1 and using that as the ambient color proves to look Pretty Good

environment probes basically almost done. Just have to add downscaling to simulate roughness, but, it's already looking great

100k cubes at 20fps is good enough I think. Very very happy with this

a million actors doing some simple addition running at less than a frame at 30fps let's gooooooo
