Investigate DirectX hooking to grab depth buffer(s)

[gavanderhoorn]

Hooking into the render pipeline of FS might allow us to publish depth images, which would go toward a proper 3D / depth camera sensor.

Rendering multiple viewpoints at the same time would still be an issue, but it would already be better than just the virtual laser scanner and just the 2D RGB captures made by d3dshot_screen_grabber.

Edit: some options/links:

• nefarius/Indicium-Supra
• How to Hook DirectX 11 (and follow-up Improving your Template)

FS19 is DirectX11, so Indicium-Supra should work.

reshade may also prove interesting.

Marking this as help-wanted, as this is outside our core expertise and would require research.

A useful note (I think): I believe that the ReShade post-processing injector might provide a way to do this with a little less grunt work from our side.

... and now @gavanderhoorn points out to me that this is in the OP. Oh well, I tried.
