Running

From the Lightness directory under LumberSharp:

dotnet run tests/test.lua test.svg

Lua Files

LumberSharp uses Lua to define scenes and rendering parameters. The format is largely straightforward:

• Set page parameters (defaults to A4 in portrait mode with 10mm margins on all sides)
• Define a camera
• Load some number of meshes
• Add them to the scene
• Specify the rendering size (default 1000x1000px -- you'll want to go higher, e.g. 4000-8000)

Setting scene.preview = true; will cause LumberSharp to emit a file called preview.png which will be the rendering of the normals of the scene. This is useful for setting up just the right shot.
