YafaRay is a free open-source raytracing engine. Raytracing is a rendering technique for generating realistic images by tracing the path of light through a 3D scene. A render engine consists of a "faceless" computer program that interacts with a host 3D application to provide specific raytracing capabilities "on demand". Blender 3D is YafaRay main host application at the moment. The YafaRay engine is released under the LGPL 2.1 license. You can download YafaRay binaries and the source code in the downloads section.

Summer is here again and we have organised a new edition of the annual contest. Last year we had very interesting entries you can check in this gallery. The topic this year is Insectum. It consist in depicting an insect or a significative part of it in a close-up shot simulating a macrophotography. The insect should be placed in an appropiate enviroment. Contestants can opt either for a hyperrealistic scene or for an imaginary situation, but always striving for artistic qualities. The contest runs from July 4 to August 31, though there is a midterm evaluation in which contestants are requested to have achieved significative progress on their work. You can check out the contest rules here. Regards
