From LuxRender Wiki
LuxRender is a new open source software rendering system for physically correct, unbiased image synthesis. Rendering with LuxRender means simulating the flow of light according to physical equations, thus producing realistic images of photographic quality.
The program is based on the PBRT project, but differs from that program by focusing on production rendering and artistic efficiency instead of scientific purposes.
LuxRender comprises an interactive user interface and exporters for various 3D programs, including Blender, Maya and XSI. Additionally, a command line tool is available. For developers we provide a C/C++ API that allows embedding LuxRender into third-party applications. The program runs on Windows, MacOS-X and GNU/Linux platforms and can be downloaded for free.
