Adding bluenoise is a guaranteed success, it seems.
Now you can even see that the sphere in the box is actually glowing. There is even some nice light bleeding out of the box 🥺

Next up: 🥔 -filtering for _just_ the GI. I also need to add a GUI for configuring all the magic variables.

Hehe yeees, most important UI element is working already, the pass-time graph.

Also: The background is the full image, not just GI. But I need to remove the hard-coded ambient term, since I got actual GI now.

Alright, I fixed the whole direct vs. indirect light ordeal, it seems.

I love how the (fake) soft shadows actually look as if they were traced with multiple rays as well.

I use the improved soft shadow tracing described on IQ's blog here: https://iquilezles.org/articles/rmshadows/

Some simple filtering even makes low-light conditions _kind of work_.

Right now I'm rejecting pixels based on a normal and depth/positional divergence parameter.
It ain't fancy, but works for now.
