Detailed Description

Base abstract class that defines a rendering process of a photon hit map.

A photon hit map stores the directions where the incoming photons are refracted by a caustic emitter object. One pixel of the photon map represents one photon hit, hte direction is encoded in the RGB channels. If the alpha channel has zero value, the hit is invalid.
