Summary:
Adding MeshRasterizerOpenGL, a faster alternative to MeshRasterizer. The new rasterizer follows the ideas from "Differentiable Surface Rendering via non-Differentiable Sampling".
The new rasterizer 20x faster on a 2M face mesh (try pose optimization on Nefertiti from https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~kmcrane/Projects/ModelRepository/!). The larger the mesh, the larger the speedup.
There are two main disadvantages:
* The new rasterizer works with an OpenGL backend, so requires pycuda.gl and pyopengl installed (though we avoided writing any C++ code, everything is in Python!)
* The new rasterizer is non-differentiable. However, you can still differentiate the rendering function if you use if with the new SplatterPhongShader which we recently added to PyTorch3D (see the original paper cited above).
