The purpose of glTF is to standardize Physically-Based Rendering (PBR) materials such that you can be confident your model will appear as intended in any lighting environment in any renderer. This is a very ambitious goal, as real-time rendering at this level of quality is still very much an area of active research with improvements being made constantly. This site demonstrates where we are on that path to convergence and highlights areas that could still use improvement. We are comparing the most popular real-time web renderers as well as path tracers (a rendering technique that uses far fewer approximations than are required by real-time renderers).
This webpage was built using Next.js.
To start developing, first clone this repo. This will download the code and data from the repository and submodules. The LFS Git extension is necessary in order to handle large files.
Then install the node packages using
npm installand run the development server using
npm run devOpen http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
You can start editing by modifying the pages in the app/ folder or their components in components/ folder. The page auto-updates as you edit files.
To build the website use
npm run buildPush commits to the main branch and automatic actions on the repo will build and deploy the webpage.
As of commit be33293c, this repository has one reported vulnerability that have been automatically detected by GitHub's Dependabot.
- CVE-2025-27789 concerns runtime complexity and does not affect the Render Fidelity website.
Future work on this repository will completely address these issues by updating the dependencies.
