Heat Kernel Textures: the Geodesic Gaussians That Do Not Splat

Save to My finds to follow releases and star growth. Saved in this browser.

About the project

HKTex is an intrinsic texture representation for triangular meshes that avoids UV atlases: appearance is defined by anisotropic heat kernels directly on the surface. It fits textures from an existing textured mesh or multi-view images and integrates with physically based rendering.

Useful for
  • Fit an HKTex texture to your own textured OBJ mesh via optimisation.py
  • Train a texture from multi-view images through the Mitsuba ray rendering pipeline
  • Benchmark HKTex against neural texture and vertex-color baselines on your data

0.6 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of September 25, 2026, 23:47 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • 2 stars today.
  • The repository is 16 days old and already has 190 stars.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

The full 7-day window is unavailable; no weekly total or comparison is calculated.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
