Overview
glTF Research Scenes converts commonly used PBRT research scenes into portable glTF assets for real-time rendering, ray tracing, path tracing, importer testing, and renderer development.
The Python conversion tooling handles geometry, materials, textures, lights, cameras, and supporting metadata while documenting format differences and conversion limitations.
Highlights
- PBRT-to-glTF 2.0 conversion for 26 research scenes
- Core and extended material variants
- Packaged GLB downloads with textures, metadata, and licenses
- Automated checks with the Khronos glTF Validator
