Description	Extensible Scene Graph (ESG) library implements an easily extensible scene with several spacial data structures. Architecture of the scene graph is mainly valuable for global illumination applications. The second library, Generic Rendering Architecture (GRA), works over the ESG and implements various rendering strategies, from OpenGL-based local illumination, through Monte Carlo ray-tracing to photon-mapping. Implemented rendering strategies are easy to integrate to graphical applications and they can be also easily interchaged at runtime.
