manta-ray

MantaRay is an advanced open-source renderer. It uses modern rendering techniques to generate photorealistic images of complex scenes.

This ray-tracer is also featured in the following YouTube videos on my channel AngeTheGreat:

• User Interface and Renderer Improvements
• Fraunhofer Diffraction

Sample Renders and 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

• Racing stripes generated via procedural shaders (not textures)

• Physically accurate depth of field via lens simulation
• Textures loaded from files
• Roughness mapping
