BSRay v1.0

BSRay is a real time ray tracing system. It allows the user to preview the scene with real time ray tracing. The scene can then be rendered with high quality in high resolutions. With Iterative Image Refinement the rendering progress of the scene can be observed and the rendering can be stopped when the desired quality is reached.
