Photorealistic rendering

These visualizations show examples of photorealistic rendering with ParaView and OSPRay. OSPRay is a fast, open-source ray tracing library from Intel capable of visualizing both surfaces and volumes. It provides ambient occlusion, shading and the ability to work with realistic materials. You can define your own materials too. For more details, please watch the “Photorealistic rendering with ParaView and OSPRay” webinar recorded in January 2020.
