Hello,

I am brand new to Julia and exploring the possibilities. Is there any equivalent for Rayshader ([https://www.rayshader.com/](https://www.rayshader.com/)) in Julia?

Thanks

R’s rayshader is really cool. The closest I’m aware of is [RPRMakie · Makie](https://docs.makie.org/stable/explanations/backends/rprmakie/index.html) but afaik it’s not polished into a product-like experience the way `rayshader` is.

GMT.jl also has the Leland Brown’s _texture shading_. See examples [here](https://www.generic-mapping-tools.org/GMTjl_doc/tutorials/texture_shading/texture/)
