metal-gauss

Metal-native differentiable 3D Gaussian Splatting for Apple Silicon: fused forward+backward rasterizer on PyTorch MPS, no CUDA anywhere.

jaxrenderer

Differentiable Rasteriser implemented in JAX. Reference: https://github.com/erwincoumans/tinyrenderer, https://github.com/ssloy/tinyrenderer/wiki; PR: https://github.com/google/brax/pull/367

rednoise

A from-scratch C++23 software renderer: rasteriser, Whitted ray tracer, Monte-Carlo path tracer, photon mapper, radiosity, bidirectional & Metropolis GI, and a real-time OpenCL GPU path tracer. Renders the Cornell box every way there is.

mockframe

Command-line tool that renders an app screenshot into a perspective iPhone mockup. Procedural housing geometry from millimetre specs, its own software rasteriser, no browser, no GPU, no purchased 3D models.

pynanosvg

Cythonic wrapper around nanosvg for rasterizing SVGs
