Render-Boy is an integrated object based 3D boolean solid modeler and photo-realistic "ray-tracing" renderer. What does that mean? Well, using Render-Boy's simple graphic user interface, you can create photo-realistic 3D graphics in an intuitive what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) point&click fashion.

Render-Boy is designed to be small and efficient, so it works great on all PowerMacs.

Limitations:
Unregistered copies of Render-Boy are fully functional, but will display a white “X” on any renderings you create.
This output marker does not limit your ability to evaluate the output, so you can fully test and evaluate Render-Boy before you decide to purchase it.
Of course, the white “X” will go away once the software is registered.

What's New:
Version 2.3.1 now improves DXF 3D geometry support with much faster rendering of DXF objects.
Speed increases of 2X to 5X are typical. For example, the rendering time of this sample image on a Dalmation iMac decreased from one hour to about 11 minutes.
