ORION Space Scene Generation Framework

ORION Space Scene Generation framework is a system that covers all space scene generation aspects, from procedural planets & spaceships to any relevant special effects, with support for all pipelines.

This is the first Beta phase release of the system, a lot more aspects and features are going to be added in the future releases, as well as conversion of some of the image effect based modules (e.g. lens flares) to the URP and HDRP pipelines.

The system is mainly focused on desktop, mobile use is TBD and will be added to the features during the Beta, with details on which modes may be used on mobile. Also the system has not been tested in VR, consoles and WebGL.
