1. Welcome to 3Delight!

3Delight is a fast, high quality, RenderMan compliant renderer. 3Delight comes as a set of command line tools and libraries intended to help you render production quality images from 3D scene descriptions. At the heart of the rendering tools is the 3Delight rendering engine. This engine implements a fast scanline renderer, coupled with an on-demand ray tracer. This combination allows 3Delight to render images quickly while giving you the ability to easily incorporate ray tracing effects whenever you need them.

3Delight was first released publicly in August 2000. Since then numerous releases, both public and internal, have contributed to making it a stable renderer with strong features. In the process, special care has been taken to make sure 3Delight keeps its performance edge.
