Not yet, but we're getting there.

Get Started

Rust can potentially be a great language for VFX development for tools and libraries used by all levels of developers from juniors all the way to the most senior developer.

We believe that Rust can be easily integrated into a studio pipeline with a nudge.

If you haven't learned Rust yet, maybe take a look at Resources first. If you are already proficient with Rust you might want to start with Ecosystem, News or Chat.

The main channel for discussing VFX for Rust is the Academy Software Foundation's #Rust Slack channel. Sign up link is here.
