Welcome to the Render Toolbox
The RenderToolbox is available in its current beta state. Please email us (David Brainard, brainard@psych.upenn.edu; Chris Broussard, chrg@sas.upenn.edu; Daniel Lichtman, danielp73@gmail.com) if you have questions or comments. We are especially interested in improving the clarity of the documentation and examples, so that the software may be used by others. So if you have suggestions (everything from typo and formatting inconsistencies to real inaccuracies), please let us know.
