Could you build this?

Partial Building a basic web-based or desktop UI for tweaking material textures and shaders is vibe-codeable, but handling production-grade PBR node graph evaluation, shader compilation (GLSL/HLSL/WGSL), and real-time raytraced or rasterized material previews requires solid graphics programming expertise.

What it would actually take: The architecture would consist of a node-based frontend (React Flow or ImGui) connected to a graphics pipeline built with WebGPU, Three.js, or native C++/Vulkan/DirectX. The complex parts include code generation for dynamic shaders based on interconnected nodes, BSDF/PBR model calculations, and managing texture baking workflows. It requires solid domain knowledge in computer graphics and shader compilation pipelines.
