Every example and every dogfooding model, as the tool renders them: the beauty render and the contact sheet, with the program that made it and a viewer that orbits the mesh in the browser. The renders are the committed ones, regenerated by CI from the programs; the viewers are built with the site. This page is generated by npm run pages:gallery.
