Question about DTM rendering #40

Closed joa-quim closed 3 years ago

joa-quim commented 3 years ago

Hi,

Could this package be used to create images like the one in this GMT post

avik-pal commented 3 years ago

Hi @joa-quim, (By a very superficial glance on the discussion) It seems to be possible. However, unless you want to compute gradients wrt something, I would strongly discourage using this package or any differentiable rendering package for that matter.

Also, I don't expect the package to work as expected in the latest julia release. I will work on fixing this but won't be able to do so until early next year.

Thanks, this was a exploratory thought for something I would like to do one day but which also low priority in my list. I'll close this issue.
