The Persistence of Vision Ray-Tracer creates three-dimensional, photo-realistic images using a rendering technique called ray-tracing. It reads in a text file containing information describing the objects and lighting in a scene and generates an image of that scene from the view point of a camera also described in the text file. Ray-tracing is not a fast process by any means, but it produces very high quality images with realistic reflections, shading, perspective and other effects.
是一個高質量、完全免費創(chuàng)造最棒三維圖像的非常有名的工具，用在分子生物學上，便是用它生成高質量的三維大分子圖像。見過Science封面上漂亮極的分子圖像嗎？便是用它與以下軟件結合制作出來的。運算POV格式文件，生成三維圖形，非常棒。
