+
+Rustracer, a PBR [glTF 2.0][glrf-2-0] renderer based on Vulkan ray-tracing.
+It can render (almost) any glTF 2.0 scene by pure path tracing at an interacive speed.
+Compared with rasterization-based glTF renderers, Rustracer needs some
+(scene-dependent) time for sample accumulation in exchange for global illumination.
+
+On top of that, the control panel provides a rich set of viewing options
+and debugging utilities.
+
+It also can serve as a glTF viewer or a reference renderer.
+
+The code base itself is a learning resource for [Ash] (Vulkan bindings in Rust),
+hardware ray tracing and glTF processing in Rust.
