It was written for fun to see how the steps of a rendering pipeline can be implemented. The current version is able to load 3D data from a Wavefront Object (.obj) file and create either a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) image or a Portable Network Image (PNG) from it. The features and the most important changes between the different versions are listed in the file "be_w3dr/changelog.txt". Instructions for installation and usage of the renderer are provided in the file "be_w3dr/install.txt". be_w3dr is released under the GNU General Public License. More information can be found in the file "be_w3dr/license.txt". The directory "be_w3dr/examples/" contains examples which should help you to get a feeling how to use be_w3dr. There is an example front end using be_w3dr to render the Suzanne model from Blender. The file "be_w3dr/html/index.html" is the initial point of the documentation generated from the source files by Doxygen.
