Embark Studios is developing a creative platform using Rust to enable user-generated content with advanced 3D rendering. Initially, they focused on gameplay and other essential features before diving into rendering, resulting in the creation of two renderers with modern features like ray tracing and real-time global illumination. They introduced an experimental renderer, 'kajiya,' which is open-sourced but still a work in progress. For production, they have a more robust renderer built on Vulkan API, which extends 'kajiya' features to support broader device compatibility and gameplay functionalities. The Rust-based `rust-gpu` project allows seamless GPU programming, highlighting the language's potential for future graphics and game development.
