Building optical instruments like telescopes, cameras and more is now possible in Galaxy Engine!
Added lenses
Added drawable shapes
Fixed diffuse lighting appearing with full refraction
Made default global light absorption more subtle
Added "Show Normals" button
Added "Symmetrical Lens" button
I plan on adding more features before releasing the full 1.7.0 update. I want to add stuff like volumetric lighting, a tool menu for more intuitive controls, sphere lights (circle actually, but sphere sounds nicer), and more.
