Reimagined Global Illumination Fork
Fork of EminGT's Complementary Reimagined which takes advantage of its Advanced Color Tracing and shadowmap system to add cheap, experimental Global Illumination. Essentially, bounce lighting from sunlight, without actually doing any path tracing. You can see what this means visually below:

Now I can see the creeper!

Credits
This fork is based on Complementary Reimagined. All credit for the original shader framework and core rendering belongs to the Complementary development team. This fork merely builds on their impressive work by adding global illumination to overhaul daytime visuals.
This fork is heavily inspired by Timetravelbeard's Just Colored Lighting, and his impressive shadow-map-driven voxel GI approach.
Performance
In my incredibly rudimentary testing, I've seen a maximum of a 5% drop in framerate. However, GI at the moment is inherently more taxing than lower CR profiles as it currently requires Advanced Color Tracing to be enabled. I'm working on potentially decoupling GI from ACT to aid performance.
