# PBRust

## Description

A Rust implementation of the physically based renderer described in the tremendous book *Physically Based Rendering: From Theory to Implementation* by Matt Pharr, Wenzel Jakob, and Greg Humphreys. This project aims to explore modern Rust features, and create a performant and stable rendering engine.

This implementation is currently under development and serves as a learning exercise for both advanced rendering techniques and cutting-edge Rust programming.

## Getting Started

To install the nightly toolchain:
```sh
rustup toolchain install nightly
rustup default nightly
