LuxRender

LuxRender is a free software rendering system for photo-realistic and physicaly unbiased image synthesis. It is written in C++ and built around PBRT, providing a flexible ray tracing core and an extensible object-oriented design. Our goal is to extend PBRT into a complete renderer for artistic ... [More] use, including : - Flexible multi-threading of integrators - GUI with real time tonemapping controls, renderer configuration dialogs, etc... - Robust scene file format and API, exporters for Blender and other 3D packages - Speed optimisations with SSE/SIMD implementation - Semi-programmabe shading/materials & GUI material editor(s) - Physical sky/daylight model - etc...
