Module smoothmanifold

[thornoar]

I have created a ~3800-line module called smoothmanifold. Its purpose is rendering complicated topology-style three-dimensional objects without actually using any three-dimensional calculations. Instead, the module uses 2D transforms to imitate perspective and projections. Those taking university courses in topology or differential geometry will definitely find this interesting. smoothmanifold has many other amazing features, take a look for more detail: https://github.com/thornoar/smoothmanifold

Some of the pictures and animations created with the module:

Is there some way to make smoothmanifold 'official' (presumably, after some testing and verification)? Maybe include in the project as a side repository or upload to CTAN, or even include as a base module? Unfortunately, I'm not really experienced in this area. Thank you in advance for any help.

Very nice. I would like to set up an (ideally Asymptote-aware) wiki page for third-party contributions like this.

Thanks! Would be very cool to have such a wiki page indeed. I've been working extensively on the module for the past couple of months, and I'm very excited for it to have any recognition
