Mitsuba 2 is a research-focused, flexible rendering system crafted in portable C++17 and built upon the Enoki library, developed by the Realistic Graphics Lab at EPFL. It supports multiple variants, accommodating different color representations such as RGB, spectral, and monochrome, along with various vectorization options including scalar, SIMD, and CUDA, as well as capabilities for differentiable rendering. The system comprises a compact collection of core libraries supplemented by an extensive array of plugins that provide features like diverse materials, light sources, and comprehensive rendering algorithms. Mitsuba 2 aims to maintain compatibility with its predecessor, Mitsuba 0.6, ensuring a smooth transition for users. The rendering engine is backed by an extensive automated test suite created in Python, and its ongoing development is supported by several continuous integration servers that compile and verify new updates across various operating systems and compilation configurations, such as debug or release builds and single or double precision. This comprehensive testing framework enhances the robustness and reliability of the software, making it a valuable tool for researchers in the field of graphics.
