Heat Kernel Textures: the Geodesic Gaussians That Do Not Splat
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

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.
