<p>3Delight's renderdl program can render any RenderMan Interface Bytestream
(RIB) file (binary or text formats) or an application can link with
the lib3delight library to directly produce high quality images using
the RenderMan Application Programming Interface (API). Refer to User's
Manual section 4. <b><a href="http://www.3delight.com/Zdoc/3delight_22.html#SEC22" OLDREF="">3</a></b><a href="http://www.3delight.com/Zdoc/3delight_22.html#SEC22" OLDREF="">Delight

<dd>3Delight offers a wide variety of features such as depth of field, motion
blur, surface displacement, level of detail, atmospheric effects and selective ray-tracing.
Shadows can be done using standard shadow maps, ray-tracing or using high
quality antialiased multi-depth shadow maps - an advanced feature unique
to <b>3</b>Delight. Very high quality texturing and image antialiasing
is implemented and a complete set of selectable filters is offered (including
Sinc and Catmull-Rom). Image can be outputted at up to 96 bits per RGB.
Gamma correction and dithering can be applied before quantization for
lower bit depth.

Display Drivers</em> </dd>

<dl compact>
<dd>3Delight can output RGB, RGBA, Z or AZ image (or other combination) at
any resolution. It comes with the following display drivers: framebuffer,
TIFF, zfile and multi-depth shadow maps (DSM), Kodak Cineon and Encapsulated
Postscript (EPS). Since <b>3</b>Delight's extensible display driver use
the "standard" RenderMan display driver interface, third parties display
drivers are also supported. New extensions to display system are also supported,
including multiple displays per render and display specific quantize parameters.
