+# rmarcher
+A ray marching renderer in rust
+
+![small example](prod/small.png)
+
+## Dependencies
+- `rust >= 1.51` for const generics
+- `crossbeam` && `crossbeam-channel` for multithreading
+- `rand` for rng
+- `image` for png export
+- `rlua` for lua scene building
+
+## What currently works
+- Simple shapes (half-spaces and spheres are the only tested ones so far)
+- Spectral simulation (currently using 4 color components)
+- Global illumination (with diffuse and reflective surfaces)
+- Punctual illumination
+
+## What is planned
+- Testing of more shapes
+- Support for a lua-based scene representation DSL
+- Support for linking against a `scene.so` exporting a scene
+- Support for using as a library
+
+## Examples
