A .pbrt file is a scene description file or a file containing a triangular grid.

This file is just a description of what is used to render the image.

To render the image, you need to run the \ bin \ pbrt.exe file as follows:

\ bin \ pbrt.exe conference.pbrt -outfile conference.tga

This command will display the image and save it in a file called conference.tga
