rendering or raytracing?

Hello

Is there any package for rendering or raytracing?

The rgl package uses OpenGL for rendering solid objects, but it doesn't 
do raytracing.  A nice addition would be to output a scene in a format 
that some external ray-tracer (e.g. POV-ray) could render.

Hi

Then OK, I mean raytracing directly with some R package.
Or maybe some optics package
I've seen there exist an optics package called planar but it's only for
reflection and transmission at planar interfaces.

Hi,

package planar is concerned with the full electromagnetic problem at
planar interfaces, which is not very useful for raytracing. The cda
package includes a small demo interfacing either rgl or povray (via
system call) to visualize 3D clusters of metallic particles. A more
general interface to povray or pbrt or luxrender etc. would be very
nice to have.
