Could you build this?

No A headless GPU rendering engine needs graphics engineering across Vulkan and Metal, shader compilation, and ray and geometry kernels, which vibe coding cannot substitute for.

What it would actually take: The core is a Rust renderer that dispatches Slang shaders through Vulkan and Metal, with a small kernel for geometry and ray queries and a scene-program layer on top. The difficult parts are GPU memory management, performance, and correctness across backends. That takes experienced graphics and GPU programmers, plus substantial GPU hardware for testing and cloud rendering.
