RenderPark is a system for physically based photo-realistic image synthesis. It is providing a solid implementation of a wide variety of algorithms. Features: * reads models in MGF and new XRML (extended VRML'97) file format. * images can be saved in PPM, TIFF and Radiance PIC format, for which numerous convertors exist. * supports high dynamic range TIFF and PIC image output, suitable for lighting analysis purposes, e.g. using Radiance tools, or experimentation with tone mapping techniques ... * illuminated models after radiosity can be saved in VRML'97 format. * X-Windows/Motif based user interface. * interactive navigation using graphics hardware (OpenGL) with various optimizations that make it suited for large models. * wide range of tone mapping operators + calibrated monitor support. * batch rendering with control through command line arguments or Inter Process Communication. * rendering into an external canvas window makes RenderPark behave as a "plug-in" in other applications.
