Yocto/GL
A collection of small C++17 libraries for building data-oriented physically-based graphics algorithms.
What is Yocto/GL?
Yocto/GL is a collection of tiny C++ libraries for building physically-based graphics algorithms. It provides modular components for math, color, geometry, shading, image processing, shape manipulation, scene representation, and path tracing, all designed with a data-oriented style. It solves the need for a simple, hackable, and educational codebase for graphics research and development.
Graphics researchers, educators, and developers who need a lightweight, modular C++ library for building or learning physically-based rendering algorithms, especially those valuing explicit data flow and ease of extension.
Developers choose Yocto/GL for its data-oriented design that makes graphics algorithms transparent and easy to modify, its modular structure that simplifies navigation and use, and its focus on value semantics that reduces memory management errors, making it ideal for experimentation and teaching.
