GenPBR

North Star Global product—a client-side PBR texture generator for architectural visualization and game development, evolved into multi-tenant enterprise SaaS. A secure server-side API powers plugin surfaces like Blender and enterprise integrations, while OIDC federation and hierarchical RBAC govern org access.

Platform pulse

Real-time signups, active users, and platform activity pulled live from the production API.

Enterprise buyers expect OIDC SSO, governed permissions, and integration into DCC pipelines—not bolt-on auth. A secure server API had to enable plugins and partner workflows while client-side generation stayed private, zero-latency, and off the server.
