Renderer R5 (DX12)

[viventaje]

I offer my developments on a new render based on Open X-ray and using resources from CryEngine (fork - Lumberyard).
Support: DXIL

That's really awesome!
Is the license Lumberyard's code is using compatible with this project's license?
https://github.com/aws/lumberyard/blob/master/LICENSE.txt

I read Lumberyard licence briefly.
It looks like it doesn't allow using parts of it in other projects.
This PR does exactly that: it takes a part of Lumberyard to use it in non-Lumberyard project.
It is a problem.

So, we can't really merge this as it violates Lumberyard license, which explicitly prohibits extracting parts of it and integrating into different projects:

5. Other Restrictions. Without limiting the restrictions set out in the Agreement and Intellectual Property License respectively, you may not (a) distribute the Lumberyard Materials in source code form, except as expressly permitted by Section 42.2(b) and (c), (b) use or exploit the Lumberyard Materials or any portion thereof to develop, maintain, participate in the development of, or support any competing engine, development tool, or software framework, (c) use the Lumberyard Materials or any portion thereof as part of a logo or trademark, (d) remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary rights notices (including copyright and trademark notices) contained in the Lumberyard Materials, (e) take any action that would require AWS, Inc. or you to license, distribute, or otherwise make available to anyone the Lumberyard Materials under different terms (e.g., combining Lumberyard Materials with software subject to "copyleft" open source licenses), or (f) use or exploit the Lumberyard Materials or any portion thereof in any manner or for any purpose other than as expressly permitted by these Terms.

However, this PR also contains changes to our own code, which are usable and can be separately imported.

One thing I can think about is https://github.com/o3de/o3de, which is distributed under Apache and MIT licenses. It might also have a translation layer that can be used?

Much thanks for the effort anyway!
