Mitsuba - physically based renderer

POV-Ray - The Persistence of Vision Raytracer List of external renderers compatible with Blender Just a few years ago we had so little options to choose when we had to use external renders in Blender to boost our visualization work. And today there are so many options that an artist could get really confused to choose only one, and with Cycles as a welcome newcomer the challenge to pick only one can get even harder. But, how many options do we have? Here are the options: YafaRay – Free renderer (GPL)LuxRender – Free renderer (GPL)Pov-Ray – Free renderer (GPL)Mitsuba – Free renderer (GPL)Indigo RendererV-RayOctane Render Did I miss anyone?
