pyrender VS VisPy

im writing a program for a robot that will allow for the tracking of objects and the robots world positioning through aruco markers but i want to be able to have an easier way to double check if the data its producing is correct, thus ive been looking for libraries that can have a real time 3d viewer that runs in a separate thread and allows for me to load in models like obj'. i use to use pyrender which worked on my pc but it seams that the real time rendering does not work on mac and according to the github they still dont have an official fix at least not one i can get working. if anyone knows of a similar library thats easy to use please let me know!

I've done something like this using https://github.com/mmatl/pyrender before. We were generating images + registered normal maps for a computer vision application.

Some good debug info is available in this github thread for generic opengl debugging: https://github.com/mmatl/pyrender/issues/13

VisPy - High-performance scientific visualization based on OpenGL.

Two similar alternatives you could look at are PyVista which is based on the same framework as Mayavi and VisPy. Mayavi is strongly dependent on the whole Enthought suite which can be a disadvantage if you don’t really use its abilities.

2. I recommend Datashader (https://datashader.org/) (HoloViz is super cool) and Vispy (https://vispy.org/). I found Vispy's documentation a bit lacking some time ago, but they probably have improved it since then, and it's very capable. Lastly, check Taichi (https://taichi.graphics/), might not be a conventional data representation library (or rather, not only), but it's amazing and worth a look.

To add some more depth to the Seaborn comparison, and not being an expert Seaborn user, I'd say:

1. MPL Plotter is lighter (but also with less wide-ranging plot options)
