  Splat.hpp

  Currently the idea of a splat is a little underdeveloped.  
  Right now, it consists of a point and a color.  This splat
  is subtracted from the emissive texture in the emitting 
  polygon and is added 

  This class will be extended to have an area or a filter
  when the splatting idea is more fully developed. 

  FIXME - Does the splat it have to be multiplied by reflectance 
  when added to the accumulation texture or has this already been 
  accounted for in the diffuse lighting step?
