# Warning

This library is currently unstable and its API is subject to frequent changes

# Getting Started

You can run the main example
```bash
git clone https://github.com/olejaaaaaaaa/aluminium
cd aluminium
cargo run -p simple
```
# Usage

Aluminium is focused on data visualization with reasonably high performance 
It does **not** provide asset loaders (glTF / OBJ / PNG) — bring your own

# Minimal required extensions

To support both PC and mobile hardware, only the common subset is used

    - VK_KHR_swapchain
    - VK_EXT_descriptor_indexing
    - VK_KHR_driver_properties
    - VK_KHR_synchronization2
    - VK_KHR_timeline_semaphore
    - VK_KHR_get_physical_device_properties2

## Supported Platforms

# Credits

This library is heavily inspired by [Kajiya](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/kajiya). I probably wouldn't have created it if that project didn't exist.
