In this task you will implement a bounding volume hierarchy that accelerates ray-scene intersection. Most of this work will be in `student/bvh.inl`. Note that this file has an unusual extension (`.inl` = inline) because it is an implementation file for a template class. This means `bvh.h` must `#include` it, so all code that sees `bvh.h` will also see `bvh.inl`.

"Camera rays" emanate from the camera and measure the amount of scene radiance that reaches a point on the camera's sensor plane. (Given a point on the virtual sensor plane, there is a corresponding camera ray that is traced into the scene.) Your job is to generate these rays, which is the first step in the raytracing procedure.

The final task of this assignment will be to implement a new type of light source: an infinite environment light. An environment light is a light that supplies incident radiance (really, the light intensity dPhi/dOmega) from all directions on the sphere. Rather than using a predefined collection of explicit lights, an environment light is a capture of the actual incoming light from some real-world scene; rendering using environment lighting can be quite striking.

Now that you have implemented the ability to sample more complex light paths, it's time to add support for more types of materials. In this task you will add support for two types of specular materials: mirrors and glass. These materials are implemented in `student/bsdf.cpp`.

- In the diagrams below, both `out_dir` and `in_dir` are pointing _away_ from the intersection point. This is so that we can more consistently consider their angles with respect to the surface normal.

- Remember that we are tracing rays _backwards_, from the camera into the scene. This is why the computed scattering direction (`in_dir`) corresponds with the _incoming_ light.

Finally, when working with Snell's law, there is a special case to account for: total internal reflection. This occurs when a ray hits a refractive boundary at an angle greater than the _critical angle_. The critical angle is the incident \theta_i that causes the refracted \theta_t to be >= 90 degrees, hence can produce no real solution to Snell's Law. In this case, you should set `was_internal` to `true`.
