jrMan is a project to write an open source version of the REYES rendering algorithm used by Pixar's PhotoRealistic Renderman. |
lucille is a open source parallel global illumination renderer. |
MegaPOV is a custom unofficial version of POV-Ray with a lot of additional features. |
MiniLight is a minimal global illumination renderer. Primarily an exercise in simplicity rather than to be useful. |
Pane is a physically based renderer (global illumination ray tracer). |
The system is designed to be an ideal learning environment demonstrating programming techniques for advanced rendering. The open source code is designed to be easy understand without compromising. |
Physically Based Rendering introduces the concepts and theory of photorealistic rendering hand in hand with the source code for a sophisticated renderer. |
An experimental physically-based renderer simulating global illumination, with progressive refinement, frame-coherent/noise-avoiding sampling, and generalised BRDFs. |
WinOSi is an Open Source, freeware rendering tool for creating real photo-realistic images by a new algorithm. |

Ray Of Light (ROL) is a research project on what is called realistic or physically based rendering. |
RenderPark is a test-bed system for physically based photo-realistic image synthesis. It's package provides a solid implementation of a wide variety of state-of-the-art ray-tracing and radiosity algorithms. |
R.I.S.E., which stands for Realistic Image Synthesis Engine is a state of the art engine and framework for the simulation and realistic image synthesis of natural phenomenon based on physics, biology and chemistry. |
toxic is a physically correct global illumination renderer aiming to produce photorealistic images and animations. toxic's goal: a free, powerful rendering tool which is actively maintained, developed and extended. |
Yafray makes it possible to iluminate scenes by means of a complete global ilumination system, using Montecarlo and Quasimontecarlo aproximations. |
