Please note this tool is not complete and cannot render dwarf fortress. It is in development.
Obsidian is a toolset for converting DF maps into a renderable scene, manipulating the result, and displaying it directly in 3D or exporting to 3rd party renderers and raytracers.
Its a modular Lua framework, using Open Scene Graph for rendering and DFHack for talking with Dwarf Fortress.
