With a long history that makes it very stable and feature rich, its main engine has 64 bits multi-threading at heart, subsurface scattering, stochastic quasi Monte-Carlo sampling, depth of field, real time mode… Latest version of the Persistence of Vision renderer can be found at: http://www.povray.org/download/
