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.
