If you are interested in Giraffe

Enter src directory and make && ./Giraffe puppy 4
puppy is in directory scene, all file in scene is Ok
4 means sample number, default is 1, you can change it to 8, 16...
Also you need to have header file png.h and compiler that supports C++11/14, if not, change parameter 14 to 11 in Makefile
