Hey everyone, I want to introduce my project!

rasterminal is a full software 3D rasterizer and model viewer that runs entirely in your terminal. The whole rendering pipeline is implemented from scratch. I only rely on third-party libraries for load-time things like 3D model parsing, image parsing, and decompression.
It doesn’t touch the GPU at all, running purely on the CPU. That makes it completely safe for SSH usage, though it does come with a performance cost. I use multithreading to recover some of what’s lost, and the result is still significantly faster than any other terminal 3D viewer I’ve come across.
Right now I’m focused on broader 3D format feature support and transparent material rendering. If you want to try it out, I’d love to hear what you think, feedback and issues are very welcome over on GitHub.
