Today we explore POV-Ray, a powerful FOSS tool for creating stunning 3D graphics.
POV-Ray stands for Persistence of Vision Raytracer. It allows you to describe complex 3D scenes in a text-based scene description language and render them into high-quality images. You can create anything from simple geometric shapes to intricate molecular structures or artistic compositions.
It’s perfect for nerds, FOSS enthusiasts, or anyone who wants to combine programming and art to produce beautiful visuals. POV-Ray works entirely via the command line, so you can automate renders, tweak parameters, and experiment endlessly with light, textures, and camera angles.
Pro tip: try rendering a molecule, a futuristic scene, or a holiday-themed object in 4K resolution, the results are mesmerizing!
For this example, I have rendered the HIV Protease Inhibitor from the RCSB PDB entry 1HVR (Rational design of potent, bioavailable, nonpeptide cyclic ureas as HIV protease inhibitors).

#Povray, c'est trop cool !
Pascal LeinertAbsolute Zustimmung zu dem Crashout über #Raytracing. So gut es aussehen kann, denn das ist nicht über all der Fall, ist der Performance Impact letztlich einfach zu groß. RT ist auch der Grund, warum die #UnrealEngine5 so schlecht läuft, da ihr RT Lumen die Standard Licht Engine fast komplett ersetzt hat. Ich hätte viel lieber mehr #CUDA Cores bzw. mehr Shader Einheiten, als auch nur einen RT Core.

Do the Writers Agree With Linus's Hot Takes?
Game RumorsDying Light: The Beast adds ray tracing on PC, slashing FPS by half for minimal visual gains.
New update brings reflections, shadows, and global illumination but at a heavy performance cost.
Is it worth it?
