The tachyon raytracing uses the tachyon class, called Tachyon. If you
type Tachyon? you will get a help file.
Sometimes it is nicer to work more directly work with tachyon, which
can be done by creating an instance of that class:
sage: t = Tachyon()
Then you can explicitly control the camera, lighting, raydepth, etc.
There are various examples of this in the documentation - if you do
sage: search_doc('tachyon')
you will get links to these.
