MantaRay is an advanced renderer.
It uses modern rendering techniques to generate photorealistic images of complex scenes.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Procedural noise (blue backdrop and leather interior).
- Transparency (window and headlight glass).
- Custom shaders (car paint has a custom shader applied which varies color by viewing angle)
- Normal mapping (floor and leather interior).
- Support for high polygon scenes.
- Physically accurate depth of field via lens simulation.
- Textures loaded from files.
- Roughness mapping.
