BRender is the Blazing Render engine created by Argonaut Software.

BRender Development

• BRender Technical Manual

TODO: Link to the OS/2 SDK and more docs

BRender research

I've been trying to contact people who worked on BRender, to see if they can provide an SDK. Current progress:

• Sam Littlewood (u/samelittlewood) (sam in the BRender strings). Contacted on reddit, he followed up a bit later to say he no longer had any documentation or SDKs.
• Dan Piponi (@sigfpe). Only has the manual, which we already have.
• Jez San: Not yet contacted. I have a possible email address to follow up on.
