irtk stands for Inverse-Rendering Toolkit. It is a simple framework for conducting inverse rendering experiments. Since there are a lot differentiable renderers in development, mastering them all and migrating between them can be a headache. irtk provides a simple scene representation based on pytorch that can be rendered by connectors that connect to different differentiable renderers and get the graident of the scene parameters. Migrating between renderers is just a matter of changing the connector.
irtk depends on pytorch. Since it is widely used and some projects might have specific requirements to it, we leave its installation to the user.
After installing pytorch, you can install irtk via
pip install irtk
