Summary description: A LuaLaTeX package which improves on 3D capabilities in TikZ
Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
The `lua-tikz3dtools` package is an early experimental extension to TikZ that aims to improve 3D rendering by handling geometry in Lua.
It currently supports z-sorting and occlusion for triangulated parametric surfaces, line segments, and points. Parametric objects are defined using `pgfkeys`, and users can apply linear, affine, and projective transformations. All 3D math is handled on the Lua side, and the results are projected onto the 2D TikZ canvas.
The package is still under development. Its current focus is to add support for clipping parametric geometry and to refine the occlusion logic for more complicated scenes.
