- foogered 6y agoI always thought it was "Techniques"

- mrec 6y agoI'm pretty sure the acronym was for "Physically Based Ray Tracing". The original preface to The Book explicitly says that > pbrt is based on the ray-tracing algorithm I suspect it's moved to "Rendering" in common usage to avoid getting hung up on distinctions like ray tracing versus path tracing versus hybrid techniques.
- trox 6y agoI always assumed that PBRT is an acronym for "Physically Based Rendering Textbook".
- rootbear 6y agoFrom some long-ago SIGGRAPH presentations, I recall it as "Physically Based Rendering Toolkit".
