Playing with Volumetric Particle Clouds and Raycasting in OpenGL and C++11

For this project, I've set the endgoal to be able to render the following:

• Start with a basic OpenGL renderer.
• Implement raycasting as described in this tutorial by Peter Triers.
• Implement lighting in this Raycasting context.
• Play with Perlin Noise and Strange Attractors to recreate the particle-patterns as in the example above.
