Full-spectrum transport
Per-wavelength sampling with importance-weighted hero wavelength spectral sampling for low-variance dispersion and caustics.
A spectral render engine for Blender — dispersion, iridescence and fluorescence, the light effects RGB simply can't reach. Cycles-compatible scenes and nodes, so it drops straight into the workflow you already have.
Conventional path tracers describe color with red, green and blue. A convenient fiction — three coordinates standing in for a continuum.
Reality is continuous. Dispersion, fluorescence, thin-film interference and metamerism live between the channels — where RGB cannot reach.
We sample the full visible band per ray, then reconstruct the observer response with calibrated colorimetry. Not a style. The correct answer, rendered.

Per-wavelength sampling with importance-weighted hero wavelength spectral sampling for low-variance dispersion and caustics.
Layered BSDFs driven by spectral reflectance data, not artist guesses. Import lab measurements straight into the shading graph.
Identical results across one workstation or ten thousand cores. Reproducible seeds, bit-stable across the render farm.
ACES, spectral upsampling and display-referred grading inside a single color-managed pipeline with auditable provenance.

// Every frame ships with a manifest: seed, build hash, spectral configuration and per-stage timings. Nothing is unaccountable.
Precision is not a feature. It is the premise.

SPYCLES is deployed where the image is evidence — product design validation, automotive material approval, scientific visualization and high-end film. Where a render is a decision, not a draft.
