Physically Based Rendering in Filament

Man, I got excited for a second from the title thinking this was about a way to produce 3d printer filament from PBR settings, so you could tweak a material on the computer and have your filament match the digital version
It is funny u say that because my head went directly to physically based rendering but i dont 3d print.
I use the page to test scrolling.
Nice, it's also a great test for my https://github.com/EsportToys/LibreScroll
This is yet another library that made some Google I/O headlines, had an Android framework, and eventually got forgotten.
EDIT: Indeed, that was the case.

Huh? That literally says that the (higher-level) "Sceneform" library uses Filament for the PBR, isn't that the opposite of it being forgotten? What am I missing, I really don't follow Android development ...
You should pay more attention to the whole site,
"Sceneform SDK for Android was open sourced and archived (github.com/google-ar/sceneform-android-sdk) with version 1.16.0."

Sceneform != Filament. Sceneform was an AR-oriented framework that used Filament as its renderer. Filament itself is very much alive and under active development.
As far as I remember, one was used to implement the other.
Can you provide examples of commercial Google products and SDKs using Filament?

Like I said, Sceneform used Filament (not the other way around). I know of a few Google products that use Filament but having left the company I'm not sure what I'm at liberty to talk about unfortunately. Btw, I'm one of the authors of Filament :)
I know, I do follow you since the Filthy Rich Client blog series at Sun, hence why I asked.
that's going to be a confusing name with the connections to 3D printing
I'm not sure how it's confusing. Is it any more confusing than "v8" also being a type of internal combustion engine or blender also being a kitchen appliance?
Yes.
v8 as a drink and as an engine.
blender as a piece of software and as an appliance
filament as a physical building material and as a physical rendering material.
One of these things is not like the other (or rather, one of these things sounds very much like the other).

You can make lithophanes with 3d prints. I don't know about anyone else but that's what I thought this post would be about.
v8 is also a beverage.
I maintain an open-source Dart/Flutter package[0] which is mostly a wrapper around Filament. This makes it considerably easier to have a single UI+codebase that runs across macOS, iOS, Android, Windows, and Web.
