What is picogen will picogen be?

picogen will be an outdoor ray tracing system, targetting large-scale terrain with realistic day/night-illumination and detailed plant populations.

Important note:

Picogen is currently undergoing a complete rewrite. You can try out version 0.2, but it is clumsy and awkward to use and deprecated. Version 0.3 will put an emphasis on a clean and (I try hard!) intuitive user-interface, quick time to render and quick time to production. I don't have a fixed release date yet, but I think I can ship a soon beta hopefully this summer, or maybe even before summer reaches half time. Yay.

Getting picogen

There are currently binary distributions of picogen 0.2 (the old picogen) for GNU/Linux and Windows (TM). For Windows, there is also a self-contained Installer. But have a look at the Downloads.
