Tungsten Renderer Alternatives

Tungsten Renderer is described as 'Tungsten is a physically based renderer I originally wrote in early 2014 for the Image Synthesis Rendering Competition at ETH, where it won 1st place with the image pictured above. It is intended for offline rendering in graphics research and is still in development, at least' and is an app. There are five alternatives to Tungsten Renderer for Windows, Linux, Mac and Blender. The best Tungsten Renderer alternative is LuxCoreRender, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Tungsten Renderer are Mitsuba, appleseed, YafaRay and NOX Renderer.
