PBRT is very nice, source-wise (and the book is immensely useful). It does
support conventional raytracing if I remember rightly, it doesn't have to
run unbiased. I don't know if that applies to this fork.

I'm waiting until the 3.7 source is made available before deciding whether
or not to continue with POV. The main things that keep me using it now
(apart from invested time) are that the SDL allows me to make a reasonable
scene without having to involve Blender, and that I still think media is
pretty unique.
