Lux 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 ... [More] object-oriented design. Our goal is to extend PBRT into a complete renderer for artistic 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...

The Persistence of Vision Raytracer is a high-quality, totally free tool for creating stunning three-dimensional graphics. It is available in official versions for Windows, Mac OS/Mac OS X and i86 ... [More] Linux. The source code is available for those wanting to do their own ports. [Less]

Pixie is a photorealistic renderer that uses a RenderMan-like interface. Features include programmable shading, motion blur, depth of field, raytracing, scan-line rendering, occlusion culling, global illumination, caustics ...

Ayam is a free 3D modelling environment for the RenderMan interface.

picogen will be an outdoor ray tracing system, targetting large-scale terrain with realistic day/night-illumination and detailed plant populations

KF-Ray is a ray tracing program which can perform parallel computing using MPI and OpenMP.

Snogray is a program for rendering 3d scenes, using monte-carlo ray-tracing. It is "physically based", meaning that it tries to calculate light transport in a physically plausible way when that is ... [More] practical. It uses the Lua language as a front-end. [Less]

The Ray Tracing Game built on custom ray-tracing engine.

Pyoptic is an optics and physics simulation based on python and uses scipy as a calculation engine, matplotlib and tvtk for visualisation. It is mainly intended for simple simulations of optical ... [More] engineering, imaging systems, laser systems, laser transportation and applications, lens design etc. Currently there is only one developer (myself) and it would be great if people who have an interest joined. I am currently working on the diffraction calculations, something I need for my research. If there are any physics students (undergraduate, post-graduate), postdoctoral researchers and just generally interested people, please contact me and maybe start contributing some code. I am a average python programmer and am using this project to improve my skills so you don't have to be very professional. Also if you are a teacher/educator the code can be modified for teaching examples and classes, again get in touch. [Less]

RayTracer is tiny educational application that demonstrates a ray tracing calculations in 3D
