_Improved shadows and rendering with rend3 0.2_

rend3 is a 3D rendering library that focuses on having an easy to use interface

without sacrificing performance or customizability.

As part of their monthly release schedule, the developers are excited to

announce the release of rend3-0.2. The most prominent change is the ability

to use fully customizable materials. Any combination of data and textures can

now be used as a material for custom render routines. This unties the user

from PBR-based materials.

Along with the customizability that comes with this change, the CPU time

required to render a complex scene is 7x less due to highly optimal data

structures. For more information see [this talk][rend3-perf-talk] at the Rust

graphics meetup.

The [v0.2 version][rend3-crates] was published on crates.io

([docs][rend3-docs] and [examples][rend3-examples]). The 0.3 release is

just a week away and further improves customizability.
