Two points:
Blender is not a renderer, it's a modelling and animation program with a built-in renderer, Cycles. But it can connect to other renderers, too.
Cycles is not that old. It replaced Blender's prior renderer just a few years ago.
- object_destroy 10y agoAppleseed has also been under active development for 7+ years; so not that young, especially considering that physically-based renders really only started coming into full production use 3-4 years ago. There are still many visual effects studios using approximation-based setups today, so I'd say there's lots of room for "new renderers" to carve their niche.
- redpanda_ua 10y agoI know Blender is not a renderer, but they include 3 renderers in the package: Bledner Internal, Cycles and, Blender Game (This one is Real-Time though).
