Future Plans
============
 * changing main ray tracing algoritm to more flexible architecture with a Sampler object:
  - enhance Sampler to support subsampling
 * namespace
 * kd-tree:
   - optimize structures
   - optimize construction: use box-shape intersection instead of bounding boxes of shapes
   - optimize traversal -- no std::vector, no dynamic memory allocation
   - save/load
 * textures (3D procedural, pixmaps)
 * update Python binding: Camera, other new classes
 * stochastic oversampling
 * absorbtion of refracted rays in dense materials (can be computed using shape distance and some 'absorbance' constant)
 * implement efficient AABB-ray intersection using Plucker coordinates
 * generalization: Camera "shader" (ray generator), surface shader and maybe light & background shaders
 * unify capitalization of method names in C++ and Python

New Classes?
============

shapes.h  -- Triangle, Sphere
scene.h   -- Ray, Light, Camera, Scene
material.h -- Material, Texture
reader.h  -- Reader, WavefrontReader

wf = new WavefrontReader()
wf.setContainer(top)
wf.setTransform(monkey_pos_matrix)
wf.read("monkey.obj")
// more transform&reads
destroy wf

Scene scene -- container with shapes, a camera and lights
scene = new Scene()
scene.setCamera(new Camera(eye, u, v, p))
scene.addLight(new PointLight(pos, color))
rt.setScene(scene)
rt.render(w,h)


constructors have zero or one parameter by default -- the object to copy data from
more parameters -- the data (ray origin and direction)
