pt
A CPU-only, unidirectional path tracing engine written in pure Go for physically-based rendering.
What is pt?
pt is a path tracing engine written in Go that generates photorealistic images by simulating the physical behavior of light. It solves the problem of creating realistic 3D renderings through a CPU-based, unidirectional path tracing approach with a simple API and comprehensive feature set.
Go developers and graphics programmers who need a lightweight, dependency-free path tracing library for educational purposes, prototyping, or creating realistic renderings without complex setup.
Developers choose pt for its pure Go implementation with no external dependencies, straightforward API, and advanced features like adaptive sampling and volume rendering, making it accessible yet powerful for path tracing projects.
