Brazil alpha testing

Brazil r/s is one of the very best rendering engines available today. It is developed by Splutterfish and the second version is currently under development. Brazil 2.0 will also be available as a developer toolkit which enables 3rd party programmers to integrate Brazil into other applications. Robert McNeel & Associates are currently writing the Brazil for Rhino frontend and allowed me to test the internal alpha releases. On this page you can see some of the results I managed to squeeze out of the 'daily builds'. Note that the application is a work-in-progress and thus lacks many features because they haven't been added or enabled yet.
