You can add light ID list to the structure (eg. 1 or 2 ints with byte IDs or w/e) - essentially solving light occlusion problem in world space. You can then do view space specular and you do transparent objects as a separate pass just like you do with deferred.
>Things like specular reflections and refractions are entirely dependent on where the viewer is; and calculating lighting information for an entire scene is way less efficient than calculating it for a viewer (see: how deferred renderers work).
If you're rendering for a single view - my whole point is that if you're rendering for multiple clients then solving lighting world space makes that calculation shared just like gbuffer is an optimization for view space with it's own tradeoffs and workarounds.
>Huh? There's been decades of research into ray tracing and voxels. Believe me, people have put a lot of thought into how to optimize these things.
Compared to triangle rasterization it's nowhere near close - for eg. I've only seen a decent voxel skinning implementation a few years back - realtime is entirely based on it and it's baked in to the hardware pipeline.
