PearRay is an experimental high accurate ray tracing application framework to create physical plausible, photo realistic or artistic single images or animation sequences. It's in active development, but still misses some of the 'required' features to be fully production ready.

See the Road Map for more information about the current status of the project.

Features (Upcoming)

• High quality images based on Spectral Rendering and Multiple Importance Sampling.
• Different integrators. (Distributed Raytracing, Bidirectional Raytracing, Progressive Photon Mapping and VCM)
• Shaders based on OSL with Displacement Mapping. (TODO)
• Resource Caching
• Radiometric (limited to visible and ultra violet spectrum), photometric or color based simulation.
• multi core rendering.

Blender Addon

There is an open source blender integration addon available here.
