At last I am starting the coding part after making some decision about the spects of the project

here are the spects:

So the project is mostly focused on multiprocessing and implementation of the acceleration structure.

One of the important decisions I made is about development process. I want to follow an evolutional method during development. First of all I’ll create a very basic framework to build up my the ray-tracer. At the moment I am working on that framework and already got some results and probably will put a uml diagram of my framework. At the very beginning I wanted to implement the ray-tracer with minimum use of object oriented patterns. However, it really was a pain in the neck. After creating a pure procedural screen-paint-only structure (which only paints the screen) I started implementing a more object oriented one.

I got these results for only screen painting (just setting the color codes of the pixel in a 800×600 window (by the way I am using windows functions to do that, probably will move to OpenGL frambuffers anyway))
