I started Deluxe Render over 14 years ago, and stopped work on it 11 years ago.  It was written in C++ using DirectX, and heavily bound to Windows.

Now, in 2014, it has finally been resurrected.  It has produced another image after being stripped of all things Windows and DirectX (on a Surface Pro 3…)

The new front end is SDL 2.0, which I hear can work on Android phones.  Hmm.

Here’s the first image it rendered:

 

Here’s the same render using 100 samples per pixel.

It’s great to have this running again.  Updates to come.
