Kray
Kray
€70 per unitKray 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. -

Raylectron
Raylectron
$99.95 per licenseRaylectron was developed over many years of research, testing, and development. It is not easy to create such software. Raytracing has been around for many years before Raylectron. However, it is not photorealistic. To achieve photorealism, you must understand the law of physics. This includes photons and their interaction with the object they hit. Photons travel at the speed light so everything is visible almost immediately (to our perception). This is not possible with a computer program. First, speed is an issue. Computers cannot calculate at the speed of light. The mathematics involved is complex. All the features are combined into one software. You can choose from a variety of lighting options or a combination of them. Texturing your model in real-time has never been easier! -

RenderDotC
Dot C Software
$500RenderDotC is Dot C Software's flagship product. It is a photorealistic renderer that can produce stunning effects for film. RenderDotC's low price-performance ratio is the main reason why people choose it. RenderDotC also scores well in all areas that are important for a production renderer. RenderDotC images have an indescribable, yet beautiful quality that some refer to as the "RenderMan look". All phenomena that are susceptible to aliasing artifacts will be effectively anti-aliased. Noise is also kept to a minimum. RenderDotC was created in the 1990's to make the most of current hardware and software technologies. Its CPU and memory performance are unmatched by other renderers in its category. It is difficult to get every detail right when creating a renderer. This only happens with experience. RenderDotC's pricing is competitive for both broadcast and film markets. -
