#Raytracer - C++ 11

In this first release the focus was on following and understanding the bibliographical sources

The code was implemented following the C++11 standard in a more structured and OOP friendly manner than presented in the books, with added multithread support.

a few artistic (and some performance guided) decisions were taken, such as boundary weighted random reflections (instead of uniformly random) to have stronger shadows.

the output is a file "render.png" like the following
