"It may not be as good as Cinema4D or Pixar’s RenderMan, but POV-Ray is free, open-source, and cross-platform."

Why not use Aqsis or Pixie or, if you like free but don't mind closed source, 3Delight? All are RenderMan compliant.



The Python library cgkit already supports Aqsis, Pixie, and 3Delight, by the way.

Cycles is also free, open source, and cross-platform, and Cycles seems to be both further ahead than either Aqsis or Pixie and moving faster. However, it could use someone to make a Python interface for it.


Blender's Python interface already has complete bindings to Cycles.
