Persistance Of Vision Raytracer

There are several programs which enable everyone to raytrace. Some of them are very expensive while others are free of charge. Well-known is the freeware POV. For building scenes to render one can use the modeling software Moray. Built objects are delivered up to the raytracer, which computes a photo-realistic picture. Computing of pictures using complex scenes, artful light effects/textures, and mirror effects may last up to several hours even using a GHz PC.

Some samples of what's possible. Click on the small pics.
