Anyone seeking for a research-oriented retargetable rendering system
About Mitsuba
Mitsuba 2 is a research-oriented retargetable rendering system, written in portable C++17 on top of the Enoki library. It is developed by the Realistic Graphics Lab at EPFL. It can be compiled into many variants which include color handling (RGB, spectral, monochrome), vectorization (scalar, SIMD, CUDA) and differentiable rendering. Mitsuba 2 consists of a small set of core libraries and a wide variety of plugins that implement functionality ranging from materials and light sources to complete rendering algorithms. It strives to retain scene compatibility with its predecessor Mitsuba 0.6. The renderer includes a large automated test suite written in Python, and its development relies on several continuous integration servers that compile and test new commits on different operating systems using various compilation settings (e.g. debug/release builds, single/double precision, etc).

RenderMan
Advanced technology from Pixar Animation Studios for rendering VFX and animation. With a new state-of-the-art framework optimized for physically-based rendering, RenderMan can deliver unmatched flexibility for any production pipeline. Not only is RenderMan used for our own feature films at Pixar, it is also used throughout the industry for rendering Visual Effects and animation, making scalability and versatility one of its core strengths. Now you can get out-of-box production tools straight from Pixar Animation Studios, including materials and light transport, no development required. Physically based shading allows RenderMan to deliver highly realistic lighting with minimal setup, including full support for multi-bounce ray traced global illumination and ray traced subsurface scattering. Much research and development has gone into making these traditionally expensive effects a production reality. Materials come fully loaded with all of the creative options.

LuxCoreRender
LuxCoreRender is a physically based and unbiased rendering engine. Based on state of the art algorithms, LuxCoreRender simulates the flow of light according to physical equations, thus producing realistic images of photographic quality. LuxCoreRender is built on physically based equations that model the transportation of light. LuxCoreRender uses OpenCL to run on any number of CPUs and/or GPUs available. LuxCoreRender is and will always be free software, both for private and commercial use. LuxCoreRender is a physically based and unbiased rendering engine based on state of the art algorithms. A showcase of what LuxCoreRender users have been able to achieve. LuxCoreRender features a variety of material types. Apart from generic materials such as matte and glossy, physically accurate representations of metal, glass, and car paint are present. LuxCoreRender supports dynamic and interactive scene editing.

Flamingo nXt
Present your Rhino models in their best light. Next generation rendering technology. Flamingo nXt was developed for designers. You don't need to be a CG professional to quickly present your Rhino model in the best light. Results in a few clicks and a few minutes. In Rhino, just click Render to try the nXt defaults, or spend a few minutes to select a lighting scenario and add some materials before you click Render. Flamingo nXt 5 allows you to easily create stunning, life-like images in Rhino. With nXt you don't need to be a professional renderer to get realistic results quickly. You provide materials and lighting and press the Render button. nXt provides the simulation. Unlike many rendering products, there are very few settings to worry about or understand. nXt produces realistic results by simulating light transport in your model. Indirect lighting as well as complex reflection and refraction can be easily incorporated into the simulation.
