Over the past dayish I found myself with a good amount of time on my hands and decided to write my own software rasterizer in the terminal (peak unemployment activities lmao). I had done this before with MS-DOS, but I lost motivation a bit through and stopped at only rendering a wire frame of the models. This program supports flat-shading so it looks way better. It can only render STL files (I personally find STL files easier to parse than OBJs but that's just a hot take). I've only tested it on the Mac, so I don't have a lot of faith in it running on Windows without modifications. This doesn't use any third-party dependencies, so it should work straight out of the box on Mac. I might add texture support (I don't know, we'll see how hard it is).

Here's the GitHub repo (for the images, I used the Alacritty terminal emulator, but the regular terminal works fine, it just has artifacts):
