Cycles

         There is a cool thing that has been added to blender, it is called Cycles. In a nutshell, it renders the image as a whole, calculating where the rays of light and color bounce off objects into the camera. This makes images much more realistic, as it is more closely replicating the actual world. There are some amazing things that people have made using this new feature. Another program called LuxRender, uses a similar but more sophisticated algorithm these.
Here are some more cycles images, all are created in blender. In the last image you can see some graininess, this will go away if you let it keep rendering. Tell me which is your favorite in the comments below! Thanks for reading, and don't forget to subscribe!
