Very simple transient renderer based on Kevin Beason's 99 line path tracer.
Transient rendering breaks the assumption of infinite light speed in conventional renderers, allowing to generate time-resolved images of light propagating through the scene.
The implementation is based on path tracing and uses histogram binning to distribute each sample to the corresponding temporal slice depending on its time of arrival to the sensor.
