About

Welcome to Raylectron!

To make a long story short…

SoftByte Labs, Inc. was founded by Michael Purkhardt on July 12, 1993. Initially, the company provided medical software developed by Mr. Purkhardt for hospitals and physicians. Alongside medical software, SoftByte Labs also engineered and developed robotic equipment, including specialized industrial and prototyping tools like robot arms and toys. As time went on, Mr. Purkhardt decided to shift the company’s focus towards the software industry, eventually venturing into the realm of 3D visualization. This marked the birth of Raylectron.

Mr. Purkhardt is an engineer in electronics, mechanics, and an architect, with a passion for chess (with an impressive ELO rating of 2080). However, his true expertise lies in computer science and software development, where he has created all the software offered by his company, including the groundbreaking Raylectron.

Raylectron represents the culmination of years of research and testing. Developing such software is no easy feat. While raytracing techniques have been in existence for many years, they fell short of true photorealism. Achieving photorealism requires tracing the light path to illuminate objects in a scene, incorporating the laws of physics such as the behavior of photons interacting with surfaces. In the real world, photons travel at the speed of light, resulting in instantaneous illumination as perceived by our eyes. However, achieving the same level of realism in a computer program is a complex challenge. It involves grappling with speed limitations, as computers cannot calculate anywhere near the speed of light, as well as dealing with highly intricate mathematics.

But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Raylectron combines cutting-edge technology and a user-friendly interface to simplify the process of achieving stunningly realistic 3D visualizations. With Raylectron, you can bring your projects to life, capturing every intricate detail with precision and accuracy.

We invite you to explore the world of Raylectron and witness the power of photorealistic rendering. Immerse yourself in a world where virtual meets reality, and let your creativity flourish.
