%%short-description: Framework for 3D graphics production.
 
%%full-description: Program includes modeling, rendering, and
post-processing; animation support will be added soon. The program is
structured as an API composed of two dynamic lib and several
plug-ins. It currently includes a console mode front end, but a
graphical interface is also being developed. the user can use other
interfaces, as lonmg as they use the Panorama APIor output som escene
langauge that Panoramam can read.

Plug-in architecture lets you load just the compnents you need, and
they can be substituted or added to without recompiling. This idea of
an integrated framework allows better interaction of modules which
makes the program run faster. Several rendering methods (currently
including raytracing and zbuffer) are available without any other
checnge in the input scene file. A post-processing system lets you
apply filters to the whole image after it has been generated by the
rendereder, but there are also object filters, which you can apply to
an object ibn the rendering process. Material have a BSDF that
encapsulates its properties with respect to the light.
