\section{Introduction}
\textbf{Disclaimer:} This is manual is currently a work in progress --
please bear with me as things are coming together.
\subsection{About Mitsuba}
Mitsuba is an extensible rendering framework written in portable C++. It implements unbiased
as well as biased techniques and contains heavy optimizations targeted towards current CPU
architectures.
In comparison to other open renderers, it is more focused on ``researchy'' rendering
techniques, such as path-based formulations of Metropolis Light Transport and volumetric
modeling approaches.
