Description:
A fast, GPU-free 3D software renderer written in modern C++17 with native R bindings. Renders triangle meshes to publication-quality images entirely on the CPU, requiring no display server or graphics hardware. Features multi-light Blinn-Phong shading, screen-space ambient occlusion, anti-aliasing, depth fog, transparency, wireframe rendering, texture mapping, and procedural geometry generation. Supports standard mesh file formats with PNG and PPM output. Works on high-performance computing clusters, headless servers, containers, and continuous integration pipelines, making it suitable for scientific visualization across neuro-imaging, molecular structures, and general 3D graphics.
