What is Kray?

Kray is an innovative global illumination renderer that excels in rapid and accurate scene rendering, particularly in settings where indirect lighting plays a significant role. By utilizing state-of-the-art algorithms and improvements, it effectively creates detailed global illumination effects such as reflections, refractions, and caustics on conventional computing hardware. The renderer offers fast global illumination methods, including light/photon mapping, which, though biased, achieves remarkable speed with limited reliance on ray recursion counts; unbiased path tracing with various sampling optimizations; and irradiance caching, which allows for quick, view-independent storage of reusable global illumination solutions alongside caustics management. Furthermore, it presents a variety of light models, encompassing point, directional, line, area, background lights, HDR image-based lighting, and the capability to pre-sample lights for enhanced efficiency. It also includes instancing, which enables the effective reuse of identical geometry in various positions throughout the scene, thus conserving memory resources. Notably, this instanced geometry can be further instantiated, providing self-cloning features with a user-defined recursion limit, which enhances Kray's adaptability for intricate rendering projects. Overall, Kray's robust features and flexibility make it an exceptional choice for professionals seeking advanced rendering solutions.
