Pixie Renderer 2.02
Pixie is a photorealistic renderer which communicates with modelers or your application through a RenderMan more>>
The scenes you want to render are described in a text file in a language very similar to Pixars RenderMan. Pixie also comes as a C/C++ library which you can link against your application.
Main features:
- Object instancing / delayed primitives
- Displacements
- Programmable shading (using RenderMan Shading Language)
- High quality texture/shadow/environment mapping
- High dynamic range input/output
Scalable, multi-resolution raytracing using ray differentials
- Pixie now has a new raytracing engine that automatically tesselates surfaces on the fly to a desired accuracy determined using the ray differentials. This means rays tracing blurry reflections or computing global illumination are faster to trace and sharp reflections and shadows are more accurate. Pixie also contains a memory manager that keeps the memory that is used to keep these tesselations around under control. Similar to texture caching, Pixie will maintain a set of active surfaces and only those surfaces will consume raytracing memory.
- Motion blur
- Depth of field
- Level of detail (LOD)
- Reyes style rendering (very fast)
- Occlusion culling
- Network parallel rendering
- DSO shaders
Global illumination
- Pixie supports global illumination thru photon mapping and irradiance caching -- The same machinery described in the latest RenderMan interface.
- Automatically raytraced smooth reflections / shadows
Caching/baking computation with LOD (bake3d / texture3d)
- Using this functionality, you can save any value you compute in a shader to a file that you can later re-use. This allows you to perform expensive shading computations at a lower resolution and re-use these computations in the beauty passes. This functionality will also enable exporting shading data from Pixie into your own applications.
Scalable, multi-threaded rendering
- Pixie rendering core has been first completely reorganized/optimized and then multi-threaded. We are very proud of this change. You will see significant speed improvements.
Arbirtaty output values
- Pixie can save arbitrary variables (built in ones such as N, P as well as arbitrary, user defined variables) just like rgb values into images. Using this machinery, you can generate multiple outputs from a single pass and combine them as a post process.

- The firefox renderer, best rendering, can set header/footer, choose page size, must patch and compile a version of firefox, tested only on linux.

NVIDIA Gelato rendering software will bring high-quality rendering to the masses. NVIDIA Gelato is a hardware-accelerated, non-real-time renderer that allows you to use your NVIDIA GPU to create stunning images fast.
Originally designed for the creation of 3D visual effects and animation in feature films, Gelato can be used by anyone with NVIDIA hardware to create images of the very highest quality.
Its Fast
Gelato is a software program that leverages the NVIDIA GPU as a floating point math processor. This allows Gelato to render images faster than comparable renderers, but without the quality limitations traditionally associated with real-time graphics processing on the GPU.
Its Free
Yes, Gelato is available free of charge. Now students, freelancers, startups, and small studios can take advantage of a high-end renderer with the capabilities of renderers costing thousands of dollars.
Its Full Featured
If you require extra power in your 3D rendering pipeline, you can upgrade to Gelato Pro. With Gelato Pro you get the features required for production rendering:
- NVIDIA Sorbetto interactive relighting technology
- DSO shadeops
- Network parallel rendering
- Multithreading
- Native 64-bit support
- Maintenance and support from NVIDIAs High-Quality-Rendering Team
System requirements:
- NVIDIA GPU NVIDIA Quadro FX
- NVIDIA GeForce 5200 or higher
- CPU Intel Pentium III or higher
- Intel Xeon
- AMD Athlon
- AMD Opteron
- RAM 1 GB (recommended)

FFRend 1.7.01
A smart and powerful renderer for Freeframe plugins. more>> A smart and powerful renderer for Freeframe plugins.
FFRend (Freeframe Renderer) is a renderer for Freeframe plugins that will allow you to easilychain any number of plugins together, automate their parameters using oscillators, and record the output to an AVI file. The input is a video (AVI), still image (BMP/JPG/GIF), or source plugin.
Most VJ softwares support Freeframe, and can record their output, so what makes FFRend different? FFRend is optimized for content generation, whereas VJ softwares are typically optimized for live performance. The key difference is that FFRend never drops frames, even when your project is too CPU-intensive to be rendered in real time.
Its also possible to perform with FFRend, though you may have to lower the resolution, simplify your plugin chain, or use a more powerful PC, in order to get an acceptable frame rate. All parameters and oscillator settings can be controlled via MIDI.
FFRend supports plugin authoring, which means you can export a FFRend project as a Freeframe plugin. The exported plugin is called a metaplugin, because it uses other plugins as components. A metaplugin can be used in any Freeframe-compatible host application, and behaves as if you were running the equivalent project in FFRend.
FFRend is free, open-source software for Windows 2000/XP. It includes comprehensive help, an installer, and a simple demo project. If you want to render complex effects at high resolution, using chains of automated Freeframe plugins, FFRend is your friend.
Main features:
- All plugin parameters can be automated using LFOs (Low-Frequency Oscillators) with various waveforms (e.g. triangle, sine, ramp, square, pulse, random).
- The plugin chain and all its parameter and automation settings can be saved as a project.
- The plugin order can be changed at any time via dragging, without disrupting the plugin states.
- Plugins can be temporarily bypassed or soloed.
- The plugin frame size is variable, so you can preview the output in real time by lowering the resolution, and then record it at a higher resolution.
- Theres no 2 GB limit on the output file, so uncompressed output is limited only by disk space.
- A master speed control is provided, allowing you to affect the frequency of all your automations at once.
- Full screen is supported, as well as DirectDraw Exclusive mode which eliminates tearing.
- Dual-monitor support allows you to have the applications controls on one monitor and the output full-screen on the other.
- All parameters and oscillator settings can be controlled via MIDI; assignments can be created via editing, or "learned".
- FFRend supports unlimited undo.
- Multi-input (mixer) plugins are supported, and complex signal routing can be created using the Patch Bay bar.
- A File Browser bar is included, with tabs for Projects, Plugins, and Clips, plus a Monitor bar for viewing the output in dual-monitor mode.
