🕶️ A view of what should be (image retrieved from Twitter, the site gives no screenshot) its UI. A UI on a dark theme with on the main part the rendered scene (a room full of treasures, highlighting reflections, shadows and lighting effects) and all around the settings boxes with rendering graph, timeline, many tabs and menus. 📚️ OpenMoonRay is a libre, multi-platform MCRT (Monte Carlo Ray Tracing) rendering engine. It is developed and maintained by DreamWorks Animation for all of its feature film production. It is a state-of-the-art tool including a vast library of production-tested physical materials, a USD (Universal Scene Description) Hydra (interactive pre-visualization renderer) delegate, distributed/multi-machine rendering (optimized to use all the cores of a machine to the maximum, and able to switch from GPU to CPU if needed) and cloud-based via the Arras distributed computing framework.

🕶️ A view of its user interface (v.5.1.0 Beta, on my Linux PC, with a dark theme) when the application starts up: it displays a preferences window at startup topped with an image (one of the protagonists of “Singularity” - Blender's upcoming animated film). 📚️ Blender is a libre, multi-platform modeling and animation suite that supports the entire 3D pipeline: modeling, manipulation, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, and even video editing and game creation (via an integrated engine). It is a mature tool, continuously improved since its creation in 1995. Several animation films have been created to test it in situation, and it is now also recognized and used in film creation.
