Build Agents and Models on One Platform
Everything you need to build production-ready agents and models. Access 200+ Google and third-party AI models and tools.
Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform is Google Cloud's comprehensive platform for developers to build, scale, govern, and optimize agents and models. Choose from Google's most advanced models and third-party models like Anthropic's Claude Model Family.
Art of Illusion is a full featured 3D modelling, rendering, and animation studio. It is written entirely in Java, and can run on almost any operating system.
now gnu-ized, gcc-4.7.4 or gcc-10.2.0
A raytracer does not require custom code for (shadows, mirrors) like GL: it uses physics to simulate light to make realistic images, leaving one to specify only what is in the scene. (at a cost of speed)
Rayshade is a 1990's raytracer, a great one back then (and still useful).
Rayshade has an excellent easy to read yet informative User's Guide that other's could not help but copy from.
Imagin Raytracer is a multithreaded command line raytracer
Imagin Raytracer is a portable and multithreaded raytracer designed to run on all Posix systems. With its many features and its ease of use, it makes it possible to create quickly realistic images and animations.
NEWS: now gnu-ized, get it from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rayshade/
Rayshade is a 1990's raytracer, a great one back then. It has value in support of existing software and raytrace scene files, which ranges from legacy files to existing CAD software that can export 3D scenes Rayshade can build a scene for.
Files Section has a patch allowing Rayshade to build in Linux more fully / less errors than the tiny redhat patch that can be found.
Structure Synth generates 3D structures by specifying a design grammar. Even simple systems may generate surprising and complex structures. Structure Synth offers a graphical environment with multiple tabs, syntax highlighting, and OpenGL preview.
An open source multi-platform RayTracer (written in C++, using SDL) for academic purposes. Capable of reading a Scene Description File and rendering that scene. Yet in early stages of development (without further optimizations).
Can generate animations using Uniform B-Spline Curve segments.
Now available for iOS!
Hi, everyone. This is a small raytracer I've been working on and its completely opensource so feel free to download, and contribute!
Recently I added a class to render triangles and I fixed a bug with shadows.

LightTrace is a simple but versatile object-oriented raytracer that renders a scene and saves the image as a bitmap. The program is controlled by editing a text configuration file. A compiled Win32 executable is provided.
A plugin-based raytracer for educational and other use, supporting XML-format scenefiles, POVray and Polyray scenefiles. Other facilities it will offer include Lindermayer Systems, AVI/OGM (Ogg Vorbis)/Matroska animations and a Perl/PHP web interface
POVlightboard assists in generating light definitions for inclusion in Persistence of Vision Raytracer (POV-Ray) scene files. POVlightboard supports all light features of POV-Ray, including lighting changes during animations.
Fully customizable and configurable global illumination ray tracer written in C++. H-RT is a research project aimed at comparing popular and less popular light reflection models.
You can obtain the source code of H-RayTracer at (Mercurial repository):

Ray aims to be a full-featured extensible raytracer portable among POSIX and Windows with native support for multi-threading and network distribution. It will provide a scene programming langage with a VM [more features to be added once available].
IMPFarm is a renderfarm for the POV-Ray raytracer. All communication is via http with XML documents. Servers and clients are cross platform. Management and reporting is done using web pages.
Photontrik is a new raytracer meant for speed, quantity and quality. Written entirely in C++, Photontrik can be used by any 3D suite on any platform with the ability to output to an XML file. It is currently in its infancy, but could use a lot of help.
r42 is a raytracer written in Java. The core rendering engine is OS independend. Planned is a graphical user interface based on the eclipse RCP and the Java3D framework and distributed rendering support.
POV-Ray Animations for everyone from everyone.
Use the power of many Computer connected to the Internet to raytrace long or complex Animations with the freeware Raytracer POVRay (http:/www.povray.org/). Each Client gets a "work unit" from the Server an
Another Ray-Tracing Program. Full impementation from scratch of this well-known algorithm using C++. Thanks to OOP, the code is very simple and not really optimized. I would like it to be a learning basis for the ones interested in ray-tracing.
A utility to help create animations in POV-Ray, a free raytracer. In your POV-Ray code, insert variable names instead of numbers for any values which may change. An #include file is generated based on keyframes which will fill in those variabes.
