A rustification of the three.js codebase

Why?

  • To learn Rust with a real world port
  • Three.js has a billion examples and is a complete solution for rendering OpenGL ES.
  • By porting to rust long term hope to have a fast multi-threaded engine that had the same features natively and via Web Assembly
  • Because of the limitations of javascript there is nothing but speed improvements to be gained.
  • Since its almost solely about rendering it should fit well into the current Piston environment of crates

Name?

  • Semi pun for being pistionless (mostly)
  • Wankel rotors' have three sides... wink
  • I owned an RX8 for years

Stuff to do

  • Obviously early but focusing right now on the math library, new to Rust so if you see anything that's no idiomatic please let me know.
  • As internal dependencies get fleshed out I'm moving the unit/integration tests into the codebase.
