Description:

A command-line app that reads a text model file and writes a PPM image file.

Featuring:
* Monte-carlo path-tracing
* Emitter sampling
* Progressive refinement
* RGB light
* Diffuse materials
* Triangle modelling primitives
* Octree spatial index
* Pin-hole 'lens'
* Ward linear tone mapping

Primarily an exercise in simplicity -- just 491 lines -- but a good base and benchmark for development. And quite possibly the *cutest* renderer around.
