Score: 7.5/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 9, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

Krbn is a non-photorealistic 3D renderer that produces pencil-style SVG output by analytically deriving strokes from geometry, rather than simulating pixels. Its combination of exact hidden-line computation, curvature-driven hatching, and deterministic hand-drawn wobble offers a novel approach to technical and illustrative rendering. The project is particularly interesting for its deep focus on exactness and its potential to bridge math/ physics visualization with artistic illustration.
