Detailed Description

Interface that needs to be implemented by all intersectable primitives (Plane, Sphere, Triangle).

The intersect(const Ray& ray) function returns true if the ray intersects the object, but it does not return any info about the intersection point. If needed, use the intersect(const Ray& ray, Intersection& is) function instead, which computes all necessary data and stores it in the supplied Intersection object. Note that this function is slower than the simple form, and should only be used if the additional information is needed.
