A Physically Based Renderer (PBR) implemented as a Go library, providing a unidirectional CPU-only Monte Carlo path tracer. It includes a standalone CLI and supports Wavefront .obj/.mtl meshes, .hdri environment maps, physically-based materials, cameras, and progressive rendering.

Use cases

• render photorealistic 3d images from obj scenes in go
• cpu path tracer for physically based rendering
• render 3d models with metalness roughness materials
• progressive monte carlo rendering of hdri-lit scenes
• command line tool to render wavefront obj files
• learn how a path tracer works in go

When to choose

• you need a pure-Go, dependency-light path tracer
• you want to render .obj scenes with physically based materials from the CLI or Go code
• you're learning how PBR and Monte Carlo path tracing work

When to avoid

• you need GPU-accelerated or real-time rendering
• you need an actively developed renderer with recent releases
• you need production-grade features like distributed rendering or complex scene graphs
