Real Time Ray Tracing

Render Cache is a Java(!) example of interactive ray tracing. It renders only a subset of all pixels and uses an intelligent caching mechanism to predict the rest.

VirtualRay Engine with a shareware game available.

OpenRT. Attempt to build a OpenGL like real time toolkit. Commercial, but with noncommercial tryouts (at the time only for linux). Impossible to find a working demo build with OpenRT.

Ono-Sendei RT raytracer Actually working raytracer with source. Very Nice.

Ray Tracing Software

PovRay is a script based renderer. It was very neat. Blender is a full GUI based renderer. It is seems complex, but I dont find it’s UI very intuitive.
