$ cargo run --release -- data/demo.tmesh

DSL

termesh has a custom DSL that can be used to draw 3D objects without going through the process of building and exporting the mesh in a separate sofware. A DSL is also useful because it plays well with version control. Here's an example of what the DSL is currently capable of.

# define vertices
vertex v1 =  0    0    0
vertex v2 =  0.5  0.5  0.5
vertex v3 = -0.5 -0.5 -0.5

# draw lines
line v1 v2

# draw triangles
triangle v1 v2 v3
