# circle-group/hktex

> 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

## Why it’s here

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

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
