User documentation — WSG

Usage documentation for the wsg-lib crate: how to build a 3D rendering application without touching wgpu directly. It targets a developer with basic Rust knowledge; no prior GPU graphics background is required.

Not to be confused: these pages explain how to use the API. The technical documentation (internal architecture, design decisions, future targets) lives in ../tech/, and the exhaustive API reference is generated by rustdoc (cargo doc -p wsg-lib --no-deps).

Where to start

  1. Quickstart — your first window and your first object, in ~30 lines.
  2. Then, at your own pace, depending on what you need:
Page Topic
Meshes Geometries: procedural primitives, custom Geometry, entities and Transform
Materials & textures Appearance: the standard shader, unlit mode, diffuse textures
Lights Directional, point, spot, ambient, MAX_LIGHTS
Shadows Shadow mapping: picking the casting light, the packed-index pitfall
HDR & tone mapping Offscreen float render + ACES/Reinhard, opt-in via with_hdr
GPU-driven rendering GPU world matrices + indirect draws, opt-in frustum culling
Camera & input Active camera, orbital controller, unified keyboard/mouse state
Examples The 7 repo examples, the advanced manual workflow, adding your own example

The pages are cross-linked: each page ends with a link to the next one.
