Clustered shading

Clustered shading, sometimes referred to as a "Clustered renderer", is a lighting technique that allows dynamic lights to be rendered with little to no performance impact, similar to a Deferred renderer.

A more in-depth description of clustered shading and documentation on how to utilize it in supported games can be found on the Strata Source Wiki.
