Kray Description
Kray is a state-of-the-art global illumination renderer. It allows for very fast and precise rendering of scenes in which indirect light plays an important role. It uses the most modern algorithms and optimizations that allow it to render full global illumination and reflections on standard computers. Fast global illumination: light/photon map - biased but not dependent on the number of ray recursions. Path tracing – unbiased with serval sampling optimizs. Irradiance caching – for fast, view-independent, reusable GI solutions storage, caustics. Light models: line, area, point/directional, point/directional, line, and background lights. Also, lighting pre sampling. Instancing allows for repeated use of the same geometry at multiple locations in the rendered scene. It is very memory efficient. Instanced geometry can also be instances. Self-cloning is possible with a user-defined number of recursions.

NOX
NOX is a standalone, physically-accurate state of-an-art renderer that can be used as a stand-alone. Its engine is based upon unbiased methods. Global illumination can be evaluated using either Bidirectional Path Tracing (or Path Tracing). Although light behavior is based upon laws of physics some simplifications are made. No additional software is required for many post-production actions. NOX can import scenes from 3ds Max Blender, Cinema4D and 3ds Max. NOX is a powerful renderer on the market, but it is still in beta. It is constantly evolving and adding new features. You need to understand NOX's philosophy of rendering in order to make the best possible renders. For the best results, read the User Guide. It currently covers features starting with version 0.3.39. We have made a significant leap in software development since then. We are currently working on an updated version of User Guide, and plan to release it in autumn 2013.

appleseed
Appleseed is an open-source, physically-based global illumination rendering system that was primarily developed for animation and visual effects. Appleseed is actively developed by a small international group of talented volunteers from animation and VFX. Its primary mission is to provide small studios and individuals with a reliable, fully open rendering program. Appleseed has been used in many projects over the years, including ads, promo videos, TV documentaries, and an animation short. Appleseed uses a modern workflow that relies on path tracing. This allows for single pass rendering without any artifacts and minimal technical tuning. It can render completely unbiased rendering when accuracy is paramount, or biased rendering when artistic freedom and a shorter rendering time are more important.

Flamingo nXt
Showcase your Rhino models in the best light. Next generation rendering technology. Flamingo nXt was designed for designers. To quickly present your Rhino model in its best light, you don't have to be a CG professional. It takes just a few seconds and only takes a few minutes to get the results you want. To render the default nXt settings in Rhino, click Render. Or, spend some time choosing a lighting scene and adding materials before clicking Render. Flamingo 5 allows you to create stunning, lifelike images in Rhino. To get realistic results quickly, you don't have to be a professional renderer with nXt. Simply provide materials and lighting, and then click the Render button. nXt will provide the simulation. There are few settings that you need to be concerned about, unlike many rendering programs. nXt simulates light transport in your model to produce realistic results. Simulating indirect lighting, complex reflection and refraction is possible.

CentiLeo
GPU path tracer is fast and easy to use. CentiLeo is a GPU renderer that integrates with Cinema 4D and 3ds Max. It supports GPU VRAM software extension, and has high efficiency for scenes with complicated lighting. For Cinema 4DCentiLeo is an off-line GPU renderer that can be used with 3ds Max or Cinema 4DC. It supports complex lighting and has very fast unbiased path tracking. It supports large scene assets using GPU-accelerated out of-core technology. This renders polygon counts, particles, and textures that may not be possible to fit into GPU memory. This feature increases the GPU memory limits for geometry/particles 4x and 100x for texture. CentiLeo supports Interactive Preview Render and node-based material/shader editing, motion blurring, subsurface scattering and fast noise reduction for multimaterials, glass objects, mesh lights, and multi-materials. CentiLeo is supported and funded by Skolkovo Foundation. Some of the software R&D results were made possible by Skolkovo grants.
