RIRE stands for: Renderer Inside REnderer.
It also means that it is a renderer ‘pour rire’, (French expression meaning ‘not for real’).
RIRE is a Brute Force Naive Path Tracer, entirely written in OSL, and could be run (with some adjustments) on any good OSL Renderer, like AppleSeed or Cycles.
Just put a plane in front of your camera, and watch through the RIRE Rendering!
