[Work] renderer

LuxRender is a new, open-source, free software rendering system for physically correct, unbiased image synthesis. Rendering with LuxRender means simulating the flow of light according to physical equations. This produces realistic, photographic-quality images.

• It's an authorized fork of the PBRT project, focusing on production rendering and artistic efficiency.
• Please read our Features and Goals and philosophy pages for more information.
• Why another unbiased renderer? Read our FAQs page for details.
• LuxRender comprises an interactive GUI, a command line tool and Blender exporter plugins.
• We also provide a C/C++ API that allows embedding LuxRender into third-party applications.
• LuxRender runs on GNU/Linux, MS-Windows(R) and MacOS X(R) platforms.
