It creates a tree cut after knowing that a given point will pass on a BB.
This tree cut is used to accelarate the rays casted from a given BB, eliminating unnecessary BB tests from root till the tree cut.
*Added vbvh - Just a experimental tree type :)
Variable Way BVH - there is no hardcoded number of childs per each Tree Node
- idea is to optimize a tree to reduced the expected number of BB tests even after applying SAH (for that an hardcoded n-way is not enough)
- for now childs are stored on a linked list
Suposedly usefull for creating trees of objects (where objects have very diferent size-NumFaces and shape-BB)
Altought the implemented costs maybe not be very correct (for now), as i didnt cared about following a specific "corrected" model
point is that other structures like trees can then distiguish between other nodes or rayobject primitives
withouth needing any other variable.
(Note yet used but will reduce memory by a nice factor (linear to the number of primitives))
*Adapted octree to a more generic raytrace API
*ray shadow works (other untested stuff disabled atm)
On the scene tested the user-cpu time got from 1:24 to 1:19/20
probably because of removed callbacks or sligtly diferente memory usage
