The purpose of this functionality is to bring a basic ray-tracing solution to existing OCCT visualization toolkit (TKOpenGL).
Currently ray-tracing visualization core supports sharp shadows, specular reflections, transparency and adaptive anti-aliasing.
However, the basis for all ray-tracing algorithms is versatile, allowing you to add new ray-tracing features easily (such as ambient occlusion).
All ray-tracing computations are performed on the GPU using OpenCL framework, allowing real-time rendering performance.
It is important to note, that real-time ray-tracing is possible using high-performance GPUs with support of OpenCL 1.1 and higher (such as NVIDIA GeForce 660 or ATI/AMD Radeon 7850).
When using low-end GPUs (such as NVIDIA GeForce 640) the ray-tracing performance may slow down significantly.
Therefore, even with NVIDIA GeForce 640 you can render scenes with the millions of triangles. The support of OpenCL-enabled CPUs and integrated graphics cards is not guaranteed.
Introduce Point Sprites usage.
Graphic3d_Group - drop Marker(),MarkerSet() methods - markers should be drawn using AddPrimitiveArray.
Added new Draw Harness commands vcaps, vmarkerstest.
Extend OpenGl_Context to provide GL2.0 core functionality
Added 'glext.h' header provided by Khronos group with definitions
and GL functions' types.
Added OpenGl_GlCoreXX structures with function list
to appropriate GL core functionality.
Fixed memory leak in OpenGl_Context destructor.
Eliminate inclusions of gl.h header
Use OpenGl_GlCore11.hxx instead.
Removed obsolote M_PI redefinitions.
Slightly cleaned up included headers.
Reuse definitions from glext.h
OpenGl_ArbVBO and OpenGl_ExtFBO originally provide own definitions
for OpenGL extensions.
