From Sunflow Wiki
Welcome to the unofficial Sunflow wiki. This is my attempt to really start understanding Sunflow by having all our collective Sunflow knowledge in one place. But what, you might ask, is Sunflow? Sunflow is an open source rendering system for photo-realistic image synthesis. It is written in Java and built around a flexible ray tracing core and an extensible object-oriented design.
Due to lots of vandalism, not the least of which has come from Brown University, I'm turning off the registration feature. If you would like to edit the pages contact me directly and I'll set you up an account. Once an account is set up feel free to log in and go for it, but be sure to check out the wiki style guide first!
