Features:
- Basic idealized primitives: triangles, spheres, concave spheres, boxes, planes, tori, rectangles, triangle meshes
- Mesh shading modes: flat, smooth (when vertex normals are available), textured (when UV coordinates are available)
- Mesh file formats: PLY
- Acceleration aids: regular grids, bounding volume hierarchies
- Materials and shading: phong, matte, perfect specular reflection, glossy specular reflection, blended materials
- Image-based textures
- Procedural textures: planar checkers, spherical checkers
- Texture mappings: rectangular, tiled (planar), spherical
- Object instancing
- Object transformations
- Samplers: regular, random, jittered, multi-jittered, correlated multi-jittered
- Global illumation: ambient occlusion, path-tracing
- Cameras: thin-lens
- Light source types: ambient, point, area (rectangles only), environment
- Console output with status information
- Live GUI window with progressive rendering
- YAML-based scene file format
- Basic animation support for some scalar and vector parameters
- Movie output when rendering more than one frame
- Multi-core rendering engine using Haskell's
