## What it is
Meshroom is an open-source, node-based visual programming application for building and executing data processing pipelines, best known for 3D photogrammetric reconstruction via the AliceVision framework. It provides a graph editor for composing nodes, cached incremental re-computation, and local or render-farm distributed execution.

## Use cases
- reconstruct 3D models from photos
- run photogrammetry pipelines from image sets
- build node-based data processing workflows
- process multi-view stereo and structure-from-motion
- distribute reconstruction jobs on a render farm
- create custom pipeline nodes in Python
- visualize images and 3D meshes interactively

## When to choose
- you need open-source photogrammetry or 3D reconstruction from photos
- you want a visual node graph to compose and cache complex pipelines
- you need render-farm or distributed execution of processing pipelines
- you want to extend pipelines with custom Python nodes or CLI tools

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight command-line-only photogrammetry tool
- you require a permissive license for commercial embedding (license is custom)
- your workflow is unrelated to image/3D processing and you only need simple scripting
